    Leghorn laying shell less/soft shelled eggs

    I've seen two so far but i'm guessing there has been more because the two i saw were spaced 2-3 weeks apart and my other hens eat them instantly so it is kind of hard to know exactly how many. last winter she went into molt around this time so that could be.

    What breed and age are these chickens?

    If she is older and already past her prime egg laying, would her vent be as small as it is? comparing her vet to my laying leghorn it is a bit smaller for her size, also she isn't doing the squatting thing that my other laying hens do.

    What breed and age are these chickens?

    I think they had suspected it was since they said if it was a rooster i could return it, just curious how can you tell a sex link versus any other red mutt kind of breed? Also how can i tell the age? if she isn't laying than they said i could return her. but she is very sweet so i probably won't
