Jim I was being sincere, no need for sarcasm
I prob. should have mentioned that I have some older hens that lay softer shelled eggs and also have some pretty heavy breeds that step not too lightly into the nests. A soft-shelled egg meeting with resistance would not stand a chance.
I think that Fishermom's idea of putting them in the run is a very good idea and I just may try that.
I was only teasing..
I have all heavy breeds, and like I said, not an egg was broken out of about 3 dozen laid..
for your older chicks, maybe you should feed some calcium, like oyster shells. feed them egg shells also..
Now I have a question.. What is a "run" that so many people have and talk about..?? It probably is something I have, but maybe we have different termonology ..?? ,
