Numerous strange eggs and no normal ones

[Jlgonzo]

I have a 2.5 year old Easter Egger who has always been a good and consistent 5 egg a week layer. She started laying after her molt in late January and was laying normal until a few weeks ago. It started with a fairy egg, which I was not concerned about then she laid a few normal eggs then another fairy egg. Since then she has laid soft shelled fairy eggs with color as well as one egg or multiple eggs attached with no color as it almost looked like a string of sausages. It was on the dropping board in the morning. Nothing has changed in terms of food water and environment. She eats layer feed as well as chick feed for extra protein. It is fermented and there is also dry feed available. Oyster shells are always available and she gets some grubs. She does not free range. She eats and drinks normally. My other 5 chickens are fine. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Usually I would think it’s a calcium deficiency, but since you said she had extra protein feed I don’t it. Do you notice any missing feathers? That can indicate a molt starting which is coming around early spring or fall. Or maybe she has stress about something like a predator or no shade or fresh water. Also has any change happened?? Sometimes this can happen when birds are moved or shipped. I hope this helped sending the chicken some hugs!

Sounds like her plumbing is majorly malfunctioning.
When only one bird has issues... it's the bird, not the diet or environment.
Only thing I can think to suggest is to give her a special private breakfast with a calcium supplement...wither some oyster shells whole or crushed up mixed in the the fermented feed.

I agree with @aart. I also think one of your birds has an issue. If you want to give your birds some higher protein feed, usually All Flock or Flock Raiser is higher in protein than layer. I realize you ferment it. Have you tried feeding unfermented feed? I realize it's supposed to be healthier for the birds. Good luck...
