Shell-less eggs

[haileyeverhart]

My 3 year old leghorn keeps laying shell-less eggs when shes ROOSTING. Yesterday she went up to roost to sleep, then I hear a splash and she laid a shell-less egg right there. I find them a lot and it must be her. She gets calcium, and eats like crazy, so what's wrong? and not every egg she lays is shell-less maybe 2 out of 7 a week.

Defective egg shell gland is likely culprit if you're POSITIVE nutrition isn't a factor.

Usually a hiccup seen in ladies just starting up or shutting down for the season. Reason it's on the droppings board is without the shell it FEELS like a poo to them. Probably age related.

At least the softees are passing instead of binding.

Sorry to ask... but I see you put vegan in your signature line. Is that you or the chickens? Curious what you do with all your eggs?
