    My hens are laying weak shelled eggs and one Buff is laying only floppy eggs. I switched back to Scratch and Peck layers feed and am waiting for results. Help! What should I do?

    Try adding some oyster shell in a separate dish for them to get at when they need it. You can also rinse and dry their own egg shells and mix it with the oyster shell once they are laying good eggs.
