Continuous soft shell eggs

[Kiki]

She only laid the one hard, then soft thereafter even with continued supplement.

I misunderstood.
I thought you only gave a supplement for a couple of days and then stopped.

Any way to treat this if it’s a genetic defect?

Probably not.
Have you dewormed her?

I haven't! Took her to the vet today however. They don't think it's ovarian cancer at this time. Thinking maybe she had IBV and caused some reproductive damage. I didn't notice any illness in my flock but chancing it with the antibiotics. Not sure it'll help much. Have you dealt with this before?

Update on this hen?

Finished antibiotics, still laying soft shell. Unsure what to think from here. Either it’s a reproductive issue caused by illness or genetic I believe.

Thanks. Hope she does okay.
