Golden laced wyandotte lays eggs with no shell

[Lunam96]

My golden laced is now over a year, the past 1.5w she has laid 4 eggs all without a shell. My other laying hens have crazy stone shells on their eggs. They all have access 24/7 to calcium coated grit, and oystershells. I also give them crushed egg shells anytime I'm cooking..

When you say without a shell how do you mean? Like no sack at all? Just yolk and white mess?

Bit of a mess, there was some extra yolk in the nesting box

You say you've got all the calcium stuff available so I'm stumped. I've also had birds so this for a few eggs and then go back to laying normally so I hope it clears up for you. I've got a bird of my own who hasn't been laying well but I'll probably make a post about that soon

Have you seen her actually eating any of the calcium supplements? If yes, another potential thing that may be going on (if you are in northern hemisphere) is she may be beginning molt or close to doing so, which can cause egg quality issues as well, as they ramp down production for the year.
