I have never had issues with pullets having soft eggs...
However this year my silkie (who is about 6 months old) Just started laying eggs.
all 4-5 eggs (that is all she has layed) have been soft/thin rubbery shell, and because of that she has eaten the yolk.
She has layer feed, and free choice calcium, and crushed egg shells and oyster shells ( which she refuses to eat!!!!)
There are no infestation and all had been wormed over 1 month ago....
What else can I do to make her eggs hard shell and to stop the eating due to soft shell?????
I go out every hour to check on them and for eggs, and it always happens that she lays inbetween that time.
I am at wits end on what to do
God Bless,
Laura
