    Determine non layer

    From what you've told me, it sounds like you have a hen that's just not a very good layer. She'll lay eggs, but they won't be very consistent... sorry!

    Broken Feathers

    your hen has probably gone broody and picked the feathers from her chest so she can make a brood patch to keep her chicks warm. (that's what she thinks anyway)

    suspicious

    Yes, the amount of bedding has nothing to do with it. But we were talking about the fact that the hen's egg was cracked in a certain spot every time she laid, I suggested thicker bedding so that it wouldn't drop on the board....

    So I got my first egg yesterday... now what do I do?

    If it's only a little bit of blood, then the egg is perfectly fine. The hen probably just had a little trouble passing it :)

    Can I tame them???

    You can clicker train chickens too! I taught mine all sorts of tricks... also, to get them to come near, find a stool and sit outside of the coop. Singing or whistling will draw them near!

    Repetitive soft eggs

    does she eat the grit? if she's nearly a year, her cycle can't have started to end!!! It seems like she's using up all the energy to make that one big egg, and laying ones without shells daily.
