Darn it, I was trying to hide from myself.

I've seen some odd looking poops from hens trying to lay softies, or in hens with stuck hard ones. When I see poops like that I keep an eye on everyone. If I know which hen is laying softies, I give her a calcium pill or calcium gluconate for a few days.

I never get to see who's laying what, but I'm definitely watching their poops a little closer since I spotted the puddle. Not TOO close, but you know what I mean...

I feed the layers Purina Layena Pellets, which has elevated calcium... and I keep oyster shell available at all times. The shells of the eggs being laid are quite thick, except for this one instance. It's the first brown egg I've gotten in almost 2 months. I didn't get a brown egg the next day, but did the day after... and it was fine.

Well lost another chicken so my husband made the executive decision to cull the remaining 6. Does anyone have any recommendations on what to use to douche out the coops?

Does any body know what I could do to keep a broody mama from getting off her nest? Or breaking her broodieness (not sure if that's what you call it)

Give them eggs and leave them alone is all I do. If they're truly broody, they'll sit tight. Unless you mean, she gets off for a break and goes back to the wrong nest?
