Soft Shelled eggs...repeatedly.

[twistedwire]

I know this is a topic that is addressed over and over-so I apologize.

I have 1 out of 10 hens that has been laying soft shelled eggs for MONTHS now-I think it started last fall. She drops eggs semi regularly from her roost, and will also set in a nesting box and not produce an egg. I know it's 1 of 2 of my buff orpingtons and I'm going to have to separate one to figure out which it is.

Yes, there are oyster shells available.

What should I do?

My chicken have a strong preference for baked crushed egg shells vs oyster shells. They eat them like they're candy. Maybe that might entice her?
