Little stinker! She appears to be eating the shell. Does the calcium you’re using have D3? Perhaps the whole balance is off.The truth is even stranger
I have mentioned that both Elizabeth and Diana have been having shell issues. Diana had an egg break inside her and has been laying eggs with very thin shells.
Elizabeth meanwhile I thought was laying eggs with no shells based on smears of yolk left in the nest box.
The truth seems to be however that her eggs do have a thin shell and this is what she is doing.
She isn't doing that to anyone else's eggs so I assume it broke in the nest.
I am trying calcium supplements but they don't seem to be making much of a difference.
