I recently got 2 adult silkie hens. I've been keeping them in a small pen separate from the rest of the flock for a few weeks. I've been finding one intact egg covered in the yolk of another egg repeatedly. I finally caught them in the act and discovered one is laying soft shelled eggs that break open as soon as they touch the nest.They eat layer crumbles with calcium plus free choice crushed oyster shell just like the big girls outside whose shells are always fine. I am fairly certain if i can get her laying normal shell eggs they wont break them open. How can I get her to eat they oyster shell? Any other cures available?
thanks
