Sorry if this isn't the right area but one of my hens has been having a lot of egg laying issues and acting Wierd. She used to be my top layer ( I think she is an RIR leghorn cross ) but for the past month or 2 she has been laying once or twice a week and any eggs I do get are either eaten by her before I can get to them,have white splotches,have calcium deposits or have no/ very thin shells.She is only about 2 years old and it doesn't seem like she is molting, the rest of the flock gets the same feed as her and doesn't have any issues so I don't think it would be a diet issue.
She is one of my favorite hens and is the only hen that survived my first flock which was all killed off by predators,heat, or bronchitis.
she was acting Wierd when I went to lock them up for the night and instead of roosting she was squatting in the grass over a broken egg.She already seems like she has issues ( she has a slight scissor beak, a broken top beak that she had when bought, and large claws on her wings) and Im really worried about her does anybody know what might be the issue.
PS I live in Cali and it gets very hot if that could be a contributor
