My hen started laying around 2 weeks ago. Shes had some nice eggs, but also a lot of soft ones. Im getting her some oyster shell. My concern is she hasn't laid anything in 3 days. She's acting totally normal. Should I be worried??
 
Shes eating layer feed and I give them meal worms every day. Sometimes vegetables and fruit. Thats about it
 
I personally wouldn't give meal worms daily. The layer feed should be fine. I add oyster shell but that's because I feed all flock, not layer. New layers sometimes go days between laying.
 
I agree that if she's acting perfectly fine she's not egg bound. What breed is she? What's the weather like where you live? I agree that I wouldn't give them mealworms daily. I don't know how much you give them, but, if you're looking for a daily treat, in my opinion small amounts of greens won't hurt :)
