x2. Older hens often have problematic eggs. You can try supplementing calcium on a schedule to see if that improves shell quality enough that she doesn't struggle to get the egg out, for my older layers I find like 2-3x a week while they're actively laying is enough for that purpose, as they do seem to benefit from more calcium than normal to maintain some quality of egg shell.She is 8 years old, not uncommon for egg quality to decrease. If she has layer feed and oyster shell, I don’t think Ca deficiency is what it is, but rather old age.
She probably have Calcium deficiency. Good job with the oyster shells I would recommend feeding her any egg you have. Good luck!My Wyandotte chicken who is about 8 years old now has been laying soft shell eggs once in awhile and she has access to oyster shell. Is she sick? Concerned mom here.
I just remembered that my 3 year old chicken had soft shelled egg few months ago, should I test for EDS? if so, where or how?My Wyandotte chicken who is about 8 years old now has been laying soft shell eggs once in awhile and she has access to oyster shell. Is she sick? Concerned mom here.
