one egg, two shell-less and a week later nothing?

Well you know that's why they layed so well today, don't you?

That's Murphy's law, alive and well.

Our took some time to level out as well. Our ducks started off laying with a bang and then we started finding soft shelled eggs everywhere. Discovered that my husband was only providing oyster shell "ocassionally" instead of on a regular basis. If you continue to get soft shell/no shell, provide the oyster shell free choice (if you don't already).

Forgot to add, the cold doesn't affect their laying so much as the lack of light. Try putting a light in their coop and leave it on until 8 or 9pm - this will help keep the laying going.

I found 2 shell-less eggs last night under their roost. They appeared to be form the same chicken. I turned on the light and the other chicken spounced on one of them and ate it.
