    Hens laying soft eggs

    I am having this problem also. One of my Cream Legbars has not laid a real egg in about 2 weeks but every couple of days I find a water balloon egg that I think may be hers. They are all eating layer feed, free ranging, have grit provided etc. She is the only one struggling.
