My chicken, Ginger, who is about 2 1/2 years old, went through a molt in October, and hasn't laid an egg since then...until today. She was acting a bit under the weather, and went under the coop and emmerged a few minutes later pecking at something. The other three chickens rushed over and were pecking too, so my husband, who was working in the garden went over to investigate and found a soft shelled/non shelled egg!
I'm just wondering if there is anything i need to worry about? She's acting fine, maybe spending a little more time in the coop than usual, but nothing major, eating and drinking well and I've been putting their egg shells back in the run to boost their calcium intake. What could cause this sudden egg laying and a soft one at that?
