Hen is laying eggs with no shells.

[kroyster]

We have a RIR hen who was laying eggs fne. A couple of times she has laid eggs with no shells and sometimes kind of deformed eggs. This evening she laid one of the "no shell" eggsd and has been sitting in the laying box for hours. She is eating but a little lathargic. She is not as active today as she has been in the past. Her stool is a little loose also. Any ideas?

I have no experience with this, but have read many times that people start with a warm soaking bath then putting the hen in a darkened place by herself to rest.

Perhaps something in these threads will help:
