My hen keeps laying a egg without the outer shell.

My silkie keeps laying just the inner film part with everything else in it just not the outer shell. It has happened twice Why?

how old is the chicken? are you feeding her oyster shells/eggshells? they need lots of calcium.

She will be a year in a month. They have not had the oyster shells in about a month or two.

Hi,

I had this problem when i first got my Speckled Maran. I had 3 in total. I started giving them the crushed oyster shells and have not had any since. I normally give them some every day. They take it when they need it. Hope your eggs are back to normal soon.

Thank you! We have started back on the the oyster shell. Hopefully my eggs will be back to normal soon!!
