I wasn’t aware of granite as a grit. My girls have access to the backyard so I’m guessing that’s not a problem for them.

I supply it just in case. In fact in the winter it's hard for them to find grit if the ground is snow covered.

I've got some photos to share.

Last night Mary was incredibly glossy! That's down to the new pellets I guess.

Mary looks extremely glossy. Wow looks like she was ready to go clubbing!

Thank you all for your response. I was getting worried so thank you for acknowledging that this is not normal. The calcium I have for the water has Vitamin D in it as well. I have investigated and the shell grit I use is equivalent to oyster shell. My task for today is to try and find a vet who knows something about birds/chickens. I will update you all once I have made some progress. This is one of those times when it is such a privilege to have access to people who know a lot about chickens. I have an action plan.

Thanks we love hearing how things turnout.

Gorgeous Photos MJ!! This is one time when I am very fortunate to live in Melbourne. There is a group of Bird Specialist vets 20 minutes from my house. They specialise in all birds from rare parrots to chickens. I just collected today's egg and it was a perfect hard shell egg. I will make an appointment with the vet to check them out and to have Schnitzel checked out as well just in case.

Perfect

Today's breakfast is unusual. I broke with habit because i was out of milk (I've been working too much lately). I was halfway through making panfried eggs on vegemite toast when the neighbours donated a jug of milk for my cuppa
