Hard shell egg which breaks easy

[spookyone]

Hi, I have one hen that lays a hard shell egg which breaks very easy. sometimes just carrying it or washing it. The other hens are just fine. They do get orster shells . Anyone has any ideas what wrong with this one hen?

it could not be to hard to crack by gently carrying it. try yougert and more calcium inriched foods. I use kale, yougurt and romaine lettuce,spinach lots of calcium inriched foods. ! the more calcium you can get in her, the better the shell.

If she is already taking in calcium it may be the hens ability to absorb the calcium. You could try a vitamin D boost.
