Yes, thin or missing shells happen on occasion. Usually due to a lack of calcium. I don't know that being broody is the cause but I wouldn't worry. Just ensure her feed is calcium fortified, she'll be ok.View attachment 1908406 Ok so my broody hen i think it might be normal but just wanna check and i think its her first time also being broody so any help?

Very lol thank you for the helpYes, I’ve had two of those in the last two weeks. Apparently it can be too many greens at the start of spring, or not enough calcium after having time off in winter, or a myriad of other things. So long as the whole thing comes out and doesn’t leave any behind to cause infection, it should be ok. Annoying though!![]()
