Pullet started laying and stopped

[Stepnout]

Well I was just out with the girls and someone layed a shell less egg I think it was the green egg layer Spider-Man because she just seemed off. The yolk was gone, I think eaton not sure but I did see 2 spots that looked like the girls eating egg white.
So hopefully everyone will be sorted out soon I still have. 3 of six not laying as they are younger. There may have been more shell less eggs I have not found, I’m working 13 hour days.

I've heard of the strength of the color changing, getting lighter or darker. Think it's related to age and diet. But never heard of any changing color itself. A blue layer will always be blue. I would look into the shelless situation deeper. To me that seems higher on the list. Have any of the others been laying?

We only had the one shellless egg a few days ago. I am getting about 4-5 eggs a day and that just started a week or two ago. I have 10 pullets and from what i can tell about 6 or 7 have started laying. I only have one white layer and this lakeshore so it was easy to tell where those came from but the rest are hard to tell. I think the barred rock, the New Hampshire red, the gold laced Wyandotte, the Rhode Island Red and possibly the australorpe. All are 21 weeks and all 10 are different breeds. My leghorn started us off at 17 weeks and then this lakeshore egger laid a green egg twice.

How do you know who is laying and who is not?

So here is the pic of the green egg and our leghorns white. The second one is of the brown ones. I don’t see any green in those so i don’t imagine any of those belong to fifi.

The green certainly doesn't appear to be in the basket. Other than checking her vent for signs of a problem she may just need some time to get.the factory up to speed. I can't think of anything else to try. As long as she's not showing any signs of distress, it's just a waiting game.

I know the brown layer I caught her, she was the first. The next hen practicing was the green egg layer. They were the 2 oldest hens. The next was the EE, I caught her in the nest box practicing, her face and wattles seemed to swell and turn red overnight. I believe she laid the 2 blue eggs. So it might be the green or blue layer who laid the shell less egg, not 100% sure but the green layer seemed off when I found the shell less egg last evening. So today no green or blue egg. And I found another shell les egg in the droppings tray likely from last night.
I have been leaving for work at 5 am and opening the coop. Maybe I’m disturbing the hens, scaring them. I’ll have the misses put them out after daybreak.

My experience is that some of the chickens will lay in very secret places in the yard. We can walk right by and not notice until one day, oh my!
If they free range for several hours a day, it's quite possible they are hiding the eggs.

They only get out 30 min or so before dusk. I returned 3 cockerels under a replacement agreement with the breeder. By pullets are all different ages

So still nothing. Got one shelless egg the other day.

It’s not possible that she laid 2 green and then started laying Brown is it? Everything i have read says that it’s not.

She doesn’t seem ill and acts happy. I am just baffled by the fact that it’s been like14 days now. I guess so long as she seems happy and healthy we will just keep waiting for her to come around again.

Shell less eggs have increased to about 2 a day. I was mixing the all flock and the layena so i got rid of all flock and have the layena. Also have oyster shells to boost calcium. I am guessing that while the were free ranging there were more shell less eggs or they were eating them so i only saw the rare few. Still common at this stage of the game of 21 week old layers.

Anything else i can do to right the wrong quickly?
