Hen laying clumps of shells

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 lol

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:

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

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.
I will start giving her tums again until month end when I can get into town and buy calcium. Hoping Walmart here in Canada has something similar
Thank you so much for your time and advice! it’s so appreciated

Awww maybe the hens that passed were the ones that layed the weird eggs…
Fairy eggs can happen with pullets and sometimes just before moult I’ve found

Foods rich in vitamin D are salmon, tuna, egg yolk, plain yogurt, beef liver, and sardines.

I just looked through my things and see I have calcium carbonate
Any idea what her dosage would be of that?
On my label says each tsp contains 1200mg (it’s a powder)
