IMG_6969.jpeg IMG_6970.jpeg I have 12 hens 7 months old. They have been laying pretty much 10-12 eggs every day since July. The last couple days I’ve had 9 or 10, today 11, but with the soft egg. Today there were 3 piles on my poop board this morning. And a broken soft egg. One pile looked like a tiny egg when I scraped it up, it looked like egg membrane. I’m not sure what the other two piles were, poop or what. Does anyone have any ideas? IMG_6968.jpeg

Looks like a shell membrane, some albumen (egg whites), yolk and perhaps some lash material, hard to tell.

Do you know which pullet is expelling that?

At only 7months of age, it's a bit alarming to see that many with issues.

If you know which girls are having issues, give them each 300mg Calcium Citrate+D3 once daily for a week.

See that they are eating a nutritionally balanced poultry feed and have oyster shell free choice.

I believe it has to be from just 1 as everyone laid today but 1. The soft egg and those piles are at the end of the poop board that the chickens normally don’t roost on. They all roost at the other end for the most part. Theyeat organic layer feed and have oyster shell in a bowl free choice.

If you can figure out which one it is, then I'd get Calcium into her asap.

See if that helps firm up the shells and/or she expels some lash material.
