    Oops, hen is laing in her sleep!

    One of my 6 hens frequently drops an egg, usually with a weak shell, while she sleeps. In the morning I find the egg mess beneath her roost and the others pecking at it (if I don't get there fast enough!). Thoughts? They get plenty of oyster shells.

    Why do I have "that one weird egg?"

    Good news, I got 6 eggs today in very good shape! Make that six and a half!

    Why do I have "that one weird egg?"

    I have six young hens, and they were all laying nice eggs until last week. Now nearly every day there is one egg that has a very flimsy shell. They have ample oyster shells. The other eggs are great. Any idea why?

    Greetings from Green Bay

    We moved to 8 acres last spring and just got our 6 hens 2 weeks ago. Their coop is a converted garden shed. We're building a kit coop for our new Easter eggers coming next week. I'm looking forward to settling in here at BYC and learning from everyone!
