I have 2 not unrelated problems here. One of my hens is always laying weak shelled eggs. Since some of them have broken under her she has realised the contents of the eggs are yummy. So now she has started breaking and eating them.
She gets the same Haygates layers feed she always has and has oyster shell on hand to take whenever she wants it. My other chicken's eggs seem ok but they are a lot older and don't lay very much these days anyway.
She also lives with a rooster so I don't want to start putting calcium in their water in case its too much for him. Unless I separate her from the rest of the flock for a special diet but I know she would hate that.
If anyone can help me, what are my options please?
