2 Soft Shell Eggs in a Row?!

[FreedomFarmer]

I didn’t know 1 chicken could lay more than one egg a day, soft or hard! This is all new to me. Our situation seems to have resolved and I have the oyster shell flakes arriving tomorrow. The crumbles are going in the garden next year. By any chance are you giving them kale for a treat? I read somewhere it could cause a problem with calcium absorption in chickens. No idea where that was but we have stopped giving them so much of it. Which is unfortunate because they love it and it’s still growing like crazy here in our MN garden.

Thanks for the reply @cktap62 . I have not given them kale. I treat them with cucumbers and some scratch grain and meal worms just for a couple of hours before roosting time. None of the others have the issue. And I agree that two eggs in less than 24 hours is weird and might be hard on her health. She is perfectly fine all the time except when she is trying to pass the softshell egg and is fine after it passes.

I am going to order the oyster shell flakes right now. I have been looking for finer oyster shell grit because a lot of it goes to waste. I think a lot of it are bigger pieces than they will eat. I didn't know there was such a thing as oyster shell flakes.
