New Pullet laying soft eggs 3 nights in a row

[Bahamachick]

Ugh,

My Pullet started laying her eggs approx. a week ago however we have only had 2 hard shell eggs since that time. The last 3 days she has laid at night soft shells.

Today she went into the coop for a considerable amount of time after watching the other chickens but no egg so i fear tonight will be another soft egg situation.

I have ordered the oyster shell and have to wait for them to arrive on island is there anything i can do in the mean time?

Are they on layer feed or grower feed? If they aren’t on layer feed it may be because they need the extra calcium. If they are on layer feed it’s probably just because shes new to laying and the “factory” is still working out all the kinks. In the mean time if you have eggs in hand you can bake the shells and crush them up and offer them on the side.

They are on layer feed currently. I will do exactly that with the shell thank you so much for the recommendation

You’re welcome! They should end up regulating and be just fine. Best of luck!

I'd expect some kinks early on in laying. Since you're already using layer feed that should help with regulating the quality of the shells.
