    the problem with free chickens....

    calcium deposits inside my chickens eggs

    My EE that has been laying a couple months just laid two in a row with calcium pearls inside the whites. One had a pea size clump of them! She has frequently had a few on the outside of her eggs since she began laying. I am curious as to what causes this. None of my other chickens have any...
