I rescued some chickens on Christmas Eve. It’s been a nightmare. One issue after another. But my question is I’m regards to one that only lays soft eggs.
They are three years old, on layer feed with oyster shell available. It’s been months and it’s not improving. My nest boxes are wood and now they are getting disgusting with egg constantly leaking on them and soaking down into the wood. Come summer it’s going to be a mess.
Is there anything I can do? Another chicken out of these four only lays tiny yolk less eggs. One stopped laying after a bought with sour crop that, thanks to vet intervention, she survived but hasn’t started laying again (been almost two months since).
So out of four chickens only one lays regular eggs.
I’m running out of ideas.
