Shell-less egg

[Bmeadows]

Hello all, we had 2 Rhode Island blues lay eggs with no shells today. They are layer feed and have oyster shell to snack on if wanted. Clean water nothing weird on their bodies or poo. Stress free coop (far as I know) and a large open run. The birds are appx 6months old and laid a few last week. Would it be safe to assume that they are still “learning”?

I would think so, their body might have some “oopsies” when they first start laying!

Oopsies I love that!
Yes! Mine have just begun laying the last two months. Most of the newbies have laid eggs like that. They get the hang of it pretty quickly though!
