I have a 5 month old RIR pullet who has been laying regularly for a few weeks now. Today, she layed 3 eggs! But none were really full eggs.
First, I found a broken soft-shell egg inside the coop in the morning.
Then, when I got home from work, I found a crushed egg under her in the nesting box, where she was sitting.
I took her out of the box to clean it, and she laid another soft shell egg while she was out free ranging. This one had a weird little "tail" on the end.
Has anyone ever seen this before? Should I be worried? Is she just going through something weird.
I feed her layer feed, and this morning she had some sunflower seeds as well.
