My Isa browns have just started laying, tonight why i was cleaning the coop and they were out to free range my hen came up by me and started laying. She laid two eggs one with a very soft shell and the other with no shell really only membrane. I just switch them this week to layer feed and started to give them all oyster calcium. My girls are only 19 weeks old are they to young to start laying? And why 2 eggs and both soft shell? Is their something wrong or am I doing something wrong? She is the second chicken to start laying this week. Could she of been backed up, I have heard that chickens can hold their eggs. Will she go back to lay normal eggs? Is their anything i can do to improve their eating habits. The free range part of the day and are fed a good diet, they get treats that are good for them plenty of fresh water and grit and now oyster calcium. Any help would be appriciated.
