My 17 month old leghorn started her fall molt last week. She is still laying, but the eggs either have a very thin shell or no shell at all. They have oyster shells, and I feed them back the egg shells.
Is tt just because she is molting? Any suggestions to get her through this ?
I increased their protein and calcium.
The other issue is the eggs are breaking after she lays them so I have to clean out the nest box every day. Her eggs are huge, so it's a huge mess in the nest box.
Any advice is welcome. Thank you
