Hello I'm here to help find answers for my chicken who is laying soft eggs or shell-less eggs

[ChelleCaldwell]

My cinnamon queen has been laying soft eggs or eggs with no shell. All the remnants have been stuck to her bottom feathers.

I gave her a warm Epsom salt bath and examined her more. Facebook groups suggested lash egg, but in looking up pictures, it's not what I'm seeing.

I have her isolated in a dark place in my mudroom with treated water and a separate small bowl with oyster shells and grit.

I'm checking for mites/lice, but I'm not seeing anything...but I use Saturday Lime

She’s all red underneath

Any help?

Hmmmm, that's odd. She probably has a vitamin deficiencie.

Hello, and a belated welcome to BYC. How old is she? She may be at the point where high production birds develop reproductive tract issues. Are you feeding a layer ration or all flock supplemented with oyster shell?

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
I would start immediately giving her a human calcium citrate with vitamin D tablet twice daily.
Like this.

This will give her a dose of 630mg of calcium per day.
Give her that for at least 10 days and see if that helps her.
