So for the last few days, when we let the chickens out in the mornings we have found an egg without a shell. It looks like someone cracked an egg open, just like they were going to fry an egg on the ground. It looked like it fell from the perch, like the chicken layed it at night. There isn’t even a membrane where a shell should be - just egg white and yolk. This evening we saw my little Easter Egger, Cinnamon lay an shell-less egg while on her perch. Is she alright? I can’t get pictures because when the hens notice it they jump down and eat it. They have oyster shell to eat, and the shells are usually quite thick. Is Cinnamon sick? What can we do to help her?
