OK I have 2 hens laying right now 1 leghorn and 1 RIR I have 1 other leghorn and 2 other RIR these birds are older 2 1/2 years or so they just came here to live about 2 1/2 weeks ago only the 2 have laid since coming to live here. I also have a cochin hen and a cochin pullet neither has layed since coming to my house. the leghorn has been laying about every 1 1/2 days the RIR did not lay yesterday. All eggs to this point have been normal. They get layer pellets and a small amount of scratch as well as fee choice oyster shell. This morning there was an egg in a box neither one of the layers has used (each has her favorite and has only laid in that box ). Egg had no shell just a dried out membrane. What are the chances that this may be the pullet laying or will a hen lay no shell egg when starting to lay after a vacation? or are my older hens missing something they need?
