Hi. I have six chickens, 1 Barred Rock, 1 Black Australorp, 1 Golden Laced Wyandotte, 1 Rhode Island Red and two Ameraucanas. The last four are 7 months old, all but one has started laying, but one of them is only laying a soft, sac egg. I don't know exactly which one it is, but does this mean there is something wrong with her? The sac egg is always dropped from the roost at night. The Girls are free ranging, but always come back to the nest box to lay, and back to the hen house at dusk to roost. I feed them a full lay feed, plus give them crushed oyster shell. What else should I be doing?
Thanks,
