    Soft leathery empty shell

    I found this in one of my nesting boxes. Its empty, flattened and feels very leathery. I was thinking soft shell egg but not sure. Any idea whats wrong here? I only have 2 layers and they eat layer crumble and oyster shell and are free range during the day.

    2 day old with leg issue... help!

    yeah, sounds like the same issue. it uses it's wings to balance as well. It keeps hunkered down low and really doesn't want to move anywhere unless it gets stepped on by the other chick or some noise startles it.

    One of my chicks hatched 2 days ago and is having difficulty using it's left leg. It can move its toes and leg, but can't use it to stand.
