Hi all, Newbie here. I have 2 RIR girls laying perfectly for the last month. The trouble is my 2 BA girls. Helen the big one has laid about 3 eggs in the nest box over the last 3 weeks (so I know she knows how). My other BA Francis, has never laid an egg with a shell. I have lost track off how many softies I got.
they all get get Layer ration with added oyster shell and grit and scrap veggies (I have cut the veggies back hoping it would help).
For the 3rd time, this morning I had 2 broken thin shelled eggs on the floor under the roost! Grrrr
I think the thin shells are an improvement (I mixed ground OS in some plain yogurt a few days ago)
So how long befor they 1) lay normal shell eggs and 2) put them in the nest box instead of dropping them from the roost?
thank you in advance, so glad to finaly join in the fun of BYC
