I got 9 today! Coco laid another “almost” egg, and actually got it in the nest box this afternoon. The shell is more like a “crystallized sugar crust”. Extremely fragile and hard to handle without destroying.

Yes they have free choice oyster shell available at all times, And about once a week I give them back their egg shells. They are also on Hearty Hen 18% layer pellets with around 3.7-3.9% calcium. Several of my others that are laying had a soft one or two at the beginning. But if her third one is also like this I will give calcium citrate until she lays a normal one.

Just for fun here is a pic of my eggshell “confetti” I plan to put out tomorrow.
