Shell-less Egg!!!

[PurpleDaze]

We got our first shell-less egg today. It's so weird but so cool at the same time. It's super rubbery and feels like a bouncy ball. I believe it was from one of our Marans.

What are you feeding them? They are kinda cool.

I guess I should have said something about this. They are on 16% layer feed crumble, they have access to oyster shells and we also dry out and crush their eggs shells and feed them back to them. We also give them scratch and mealworms as a treat. We have 23 pullets, almost a year old.

Sounds good , it just happens sometimes.

Sometimes these eggs happen. If you are feeding them well and providing oyster shells, they will work it out themselves.

How long have they been laying?
Odd to have a softie at almost one year old.
Might want to cut out the treats.

They have been laying for awhile, she layed a normal egg the next day. I think she was woken up during the night which stopped the development of the egg.
