I have a three pullets, penned together and they began giving eggs about three weeks ago. I have only 'busted' one laying but believe all three are.
Here's my question... I have gotten two shell-less eggs in as many weeks. How 'many' turns to too many for a pullet?
She/they were hatched in early October.
They are on layer feed, oyster-shell, fermented scratch and table food, oh and I grind all my egg shells and periodically sprinkle it in feed or on table scraps. My additional lighting is ua/uvb bulb (not that they get a lot of it as they are usually more than 18" from it, but still!
TIA
 
They will be laying shell-less eggs because they have just started to lay. A hen will usually lay an egg which is shell-less one to two times. I wouldn't worry unless you keep seeing this.

Thank you Wyandottegirl.

I appreciate your reply. What originally concerned me was that everybody else's 1st eggs from then to now, 3 wks. today, as a matter-of-fact, have literally been 'perfect' esthetically, I even have 7 of 9 set in the bator still going strong, some due in the next few days...
I am too attached to them to be anything but a paranoid worry-wort! Thank goodness I know that I am not alone in this!
Time will tell this story then, arghh...
