Hello I hope someone can help me out here
I have five chickens and they are all laying, however, I have a lace Wyandotte that for the last two or three months is laying eggs that break as she lays them..they are so thin shelled.
I have bought two different types of egg laying food, mixed in oyster shells, checked for lice or any visible signs of stress and nothing.
She is healthy weight and her and the rest have free range of my back yard. What eggs she lays that do not break while coming out, my EE will go in and settle down to lay her egg and invariably crush the Wyandottes egg, then I end up giving my EE a bath, since she has crushed egg all over her chest and legs..
If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it. Thanks!
