Shell less eggs..all week

[RNPAULIE69]

My BO is laying shell less eggs..nothing in diet has changed.she is acting normal besides going into nest box and sitting there even though she already laid a shell less one elsewhere. She appears to have started her molt last month ( she is a year and a half) and I have Increased protein. The other two are blowing some feathers but laying wise they are fine..should I be concerned?? Today was her third and two of them were not in nest box, which she has never done

Pretty odd for them to be laying while molting at 18 months,
tho it does happen and could be the reason for the wonky eggs.
Are you using supplemental lighting?

They have just started dropping feathers, I wouldn't notice except for the feathers on the pen floor..the buff has a semi naked neck and some fluff from legs gone..no feather pulling or parasites that I can see. When she started losing her neck feathers I had a friend come over who owns her own hens and we went over each girl with a fine tooth comb ..didnt find anything but poultry dusted just in case
