I went to the coop this morning. My bluebell has laid eggs all thru the winter and only stopped last week because she is in full moult. She was sat on 2 eggs from my other chooks. When she came out, thoose 2 eggs were there (I know by colour which is which egg) but next to them was an egg that looked like it had been cracked (like when we cracked an egg into a pan or bowl or whatever. ). But I couldn't see a membrane and there was no shell with it either. I checked my chicken to see if there were any broken pieces of shell around her cloaca/vent. But there was nothing and she felt soft when ii felt around her. She is moulting and we have also just got 2 new young hens that have (after 2 weeks) finally joined the flock (we have in total 5 hens and 1 cockerel). So she could be stressed as well I am going t9 give her some calcium supplement too. Altho I have heard of 'rubber eggs'. I just didn't see a membrane there, but she was sat on the eggs. Can someone please tell me if this is so.ething ii should be really worried about or not. I have only had chickens for 1 year.
 
Hey good morning moult is tough one them.
Really tough on them.
Had she ever laid a shell less before?
No. Never. But she had laid right thru the winter whereas my others didn't, and she has been moulting for a while as well as laying. It's only this week she stopped laying until this one today. Buther moult is more now and we have 2 new young hens too
