Even when they ate the eggshells they had thin shells.That sounds like the reason for deaths. Soft eggs are nasty. Egg shells are okay to feed, much better than bone meal IMO. I have been feeding it with no issues and no soft eggs, except 1 or 2 from new layers. But most of my layers are hens, so I havent gotten a soft egg in over a year. Last year I added a few chickens, so I got 2 soft eggs from 9 pullets, which isn't bad. Soft eggs are not a good sign, especially long term.
