    cracked eggs in winter

    Hi, i have had cracked eggs recently in the chicken coup. The eggs are cracked down the middle, but the membrane is still intact. Is this from the cold weather or do my hens need calcium? We do have a 75 watt bulb in the coup , so I would think that the eggs would not be frozen. thanks
