Hello! I am relatively new to chickens. I have 3 hens (Rhode island reds, I believe) and 1 bantam rooster. We have had them since about June and they have been great layers for us. They started not laying as much and we added whole corn to their feed, and started offering oyster shell a few weeks ago. Production is down to about 1 egg per day and I'm thinking it is because it's starting to be cold. Anyway, I found this in my chicken run and got a picture right before another hen ate it. Shell-less, yolk-less, and not in the nesting boxes where they have always laid eggs. Does anybody know if this is ok? Do I need to do something differently?
