Hi All! I have had my girls now for almost 1 yr (in June). All have been laying for about 5 months. I feed them layer feed pellets in their feed tube, Fermented feed first thing in the morning (made with garlic, ACV, red chili flakes, sage, oregano), 3 way scratch once a day, and then sprng mix lettuce, sprouted lentils, scrambled eggs, bread for treats about 4 times a week. They have fresh ground oysters shells (that have been backed and ground) and eggshells (baked) offered freely.
I have had 13-17 eggs a day all winter. Great layers. My EE just started about a week ago laying very weak shelled eggs. They all eat the same thing. And the problem is everyone waits for her to lay then they peck her shell and go to town. It is the only one they are able to break. I can hold it and apply pressure and it will smash.
Any ideas as to why just 1 hen would have an issue if they all eat the same thing??? I am baffled
