Broken eggs!

[scootermom]

my 21 week old hens just started laying and one is laying eggs while STILL ON THE ROOST! Of course, this results in an un-usable egg! and a mess!

I hope she will figure it out. I did have plastic easter eggs in the boxes, and both of the other hens are using the :hboxes. Has anyone had a confused hen like this?

Mine did that the first couple of times, when their shells were soft, but they moved to the nest boxes and all is good.

We have the same thing...not sure which hen is
doing it either. We have seen the leftovers from a egg right below the roost.
We never see any sign of shell, so thinking maybe it is shell-less egg.
It has happened twice now. We clean the coop each morning...but not soon enough to see who is doing it.
If it happens again I will go get oystershell for them.
