That makes sense. I also was worrying about my one chicken who doesn’t lay any longer. She’s definitely taking in too much calcium because she’s eating the community food. That would solve both problems.
They eat a layer pellet plus extra kitchen scraps. They have the option of oyster shell if they want it. Maybe the veggies they are getting are putting them over on their calcium needs. They got broccoli two weeks ago. They normally free range but our coyote and fox pollution became too active...
Has anyone ever seen an egg with a residue like this on it? It scratches off in tiny individual balls. They are on the outside of the formed egg shell and can be cleaned away leaving a normal looking egg. They are egg shell color but I can’t tell if they are egg shell material. This has happened...
