Yes the calcium is not good for long term. When she gets it, does she stop having the thin shells?

When I gave it to her the 1st time for the 7 days she started laying normal eggs but with a thin shell. The 1st was very thin, 2nd a bit thicker and the 3rd was almost normal thickness. Then her calcium ended and she stopped laying again. A few days ago she laid the egg I took pic of. I tried to post but I guess it didn’t go through and I checked and resent today as I’d been waiting for response lolYes the calcium is not good for long term.

Yes I still have young ones… I normally do the grower with oyster shell on the side because I don’t want my Roos to have issues with the higher calcium… and that way when I have chicks I don’t have to worry either.Do you still have young ones that should not eat layer feed? I would probably do another round of calcium. Are you giving human calcium citrate with d3 300 to 600 mg daily? If not, I would get some at Walmart. Here is a link, and they sell both 300 and 600 mg:

Awww maybe the hens that passed were the ones that layed the weird eggs…I found a fairy egg, a couple eggs without shells and something similar to 'the photo' 4 yrs ago. All of them were laid in the same nest box but all of my pullets were barred so I never found out who laid them. I've never gotten any more eggs without shells (or anything else remotely like the photo) But I've gotten a couple fairy eggs this summer from the same flock. 2 of the girls died shortly after they started laying but I still have 3 of them today
