Auracan Laying Broken Eggs

[rosemarythyme]

In lieu of oyster shell you could try drying and smashing up eggshells from birds with better quality shells, so she could get some calcium by eating those instead.

Thats a great Idea. We Normally feed the eggs back, however sometimes they end up in the compost. I remember we need to crush them, as otherwise they break the real eggs. Unfortunately we only have 1 properly laying chicken, the white bantam, so I may have to resort to oyster shells.
Thanks though.

Its an easter egger miracle!! After 4 weeks of broken eggs since I started this post, our Auracana is laying strong healthy eggs! Apparently keeping it in does help alot (however it does sneakily get out every once in a while)
Thanks heaps everyone!
