2 Soft Shell Eggs in a Row?!

Another thought: be sure that if you have to give calcium supplements, they also contain vitamin D3. (Most do.)

D3 is important for the body to absorb and use calcium.

This is the one I’m giving her so hopefully it’s enough. She just dropped 2 soft shelled eggs in the run again this morning What is wrong with her!? She’s had 10 days of the calcium over the last 11 days. She’s been on layer feed since Thursday too. And always, oyster shells on the side.

With multiple soft shelled eggs in a day, it sounds like her system is releasing ovarian ova too frequently for them to acquire a healthy shell.

She’s been laying for a month, correct? There’s a very good chance that her system just hasn’t gotten into full synch yet. Keep an eye out for signs of a retained egg, and give her time.

It’s obviously not the same thing, but when many girls first start menstruating, their periods are all over the map.

Yes she laid her first egg July 30th so exactly a month. I hope that’s just it. She looks miserable when she lays them. Usually looks better after they come out. Today she still looks sad and mopey and is just standing around even after she laid them.

Poor girl. I hope she gets back in synch soon!

I really hope so too. I feel helpless. I thought she was getting better and now seems like there’s no change.
