Rubber egg

[jmanderson777]

Well after going a month only getting/finding 1 egg every other day in my coop, I came out last night to find two rubber eggs and one that was cracked on the end. Is this a calcium problem? I have 3 year+ hens and the rest of my glock is 18-21 weeks old. I have been feeding half layer half starter feed since the majority of my flock is young and hadn't started to lay. Should I supplement with oyster shell or switch them all to layer? Anyone use crushed lime instead of oyster shell? I hope they haven't been eating the eggs from lack of calcium. I think the one cracked just landed on a hard spot in my nesting box where the material had been dug away. Thanks.

throw in some oyster shells it will help.

Ive never supplemented before since I've only had one rubber egg in over a year. How do you feed it to them. They have a tendency to knock over anything I put in their coop or run.
