Chicken laying egg w/o shell...

[redupthehill]

I've got one hen I've found that is laying just the egg w/o the shell! the other hen is laying fine; they get oyster shell, etc. the same hen has 'dirty' feathers from pooping on herself...any connection? what should I do?
Thanks!

maybe a lack of protein? the shell keeps her going to the potty???? so, maybe slack that up a bit. feed laying mash and when u cook eggs...bake or boil the shells, crumble...so the hen won't recognize the shape and turn into an egg shell eater, and feed to the hens......hope you the best? never had this problem.
