I've got 2 RIR that started laying a week ago. everything was fine. 1-2 eggs a day. Then yesterday I noticed a smaller egg on the coop floor and one hen in the nesting box. Opened the nesting box and there was an egg with no shell. I did a bit of research and come to find out that it is common for new layers. O.K. . Later on that day we got another egg. Most likely from other hen. Then today we got a good egg in the a.m. and when I got home and checked the nesting box there was an egg with a very soft(jelly feeling) shell. Looked around and found another egg very small and wrinkled. Is it possible that I have one hen that is not feeling well, or two hens that happen to have the same issue on consecutive days? Should I look for something that may be causing this issue or let nature run it's course? I'm feeding layer pellets and haven't offered oyster shell yet. I figured I would just wait until they started laying eggs and I haven't gotten to feed store yet.
