Hey y'all!

Hi Flockincrazy!
I posted all the specific details in a post in the egg laying thread about double rubber eggs...
She does get supplemental grit and oyster shells. She laid a perfectly normal egg this morning in her nesting box, but then I saw her squirt out TWO shell less eggs at the same time tonight when I locked her in the coop?!
That is very odd I don't have an answer for you sorry
 
Thank you everyone for the friendly welcome! This site has already proven to be worth its weight in gold for moral support and reassurance!
I got a reply to my post in the egg laying section that said they'd seen a similar issue in young hens with laying "softies" in the same day as a normal egg and had heard of it happening in ducks too. My pullet is bright and active this morning but I'm still keeping an eye out for further problems.
 
Hi and welcome to BYC! :frow Has your pullet given you any more odd eggs?

Hello!
Yes, earlier in the week she laid another softie on the ground in the run & ate it before I could stop her.
But for the past 4 days, she's used the nesting box & laid a perfectly normal hard shelled egg every day!
I'm hopeful that she's through her egg laying growing pains.
