I have a 22 week old whiting true green that's been laying roughly every other day. I know she's young and it will be some time before she regulates.
The issue is that when cracking open her eggs, the lining will not crack open. The eggshell peels off the lining, and I need to break horn the lining with my fingers.
Is this just her needing more time to develop or is there an issue?
Last week, I found several soft shell eggs only to find that the oyster shell I offer on the side had frozen solid. I've fixed that - but could the lining issue be related or do I need to look into other issues - or just wait?
