and an update: yesterday i did not see a soft-shelled remnant in the henhouse, and later in the day i found a green-colored (she's an OE) almost-egg, had a hard shell but shaped like a crescent instead of an oval. but that seems like an improvement!
good to hear that she's improved! my silly girl is still laying soft-shelled eggs in her sleep, up on the perch -- will give her some time & hope it all works itself out...
just chiming in on this, as one of my young girls (started laying maybe 2 months ago?) is now laying soft-shelled eggs, always from the roost -- when i heard an egg song at 5am this morning before it was even light, i went down to the coop & found the third or fourth soft-shelled egg in a row on...
