My pekin hen just started laying again, and she had about 5 normal eggs, but the rest have been soft and squished because they stepped on them. the shells have been leather like. what should i do?
She needs calcium! MY duck had this problem too. Give her crushed oyster shells (you can find it at a feed store) and you can give her Kale. Kale has a good amount of Calcium in it. I wouldn't give her spinach right now if you are, because spinach can cause calcium not to absorb properly. Keep checking on her to make sure she doesn't get egg bound. Soft eggs can get stuck in there.
I feed multi flock pellets to my ducks and not layer pellets because of my boys and then in another pan I have crushed oyster shells for the girls the boys have never ate it and the girls love it like it was candy....
