Shelley’s eggs?!?!?

[K C Smith]

Not sure what to do about this, any advice would be welcomed. Not sure which of my hens are laying eggs without shells. What can cause this and how do I fix the problem?

I’m no expert by any means, but add oyster shells to their diet and maybe boost them with layer feed!

How old are the birds? New layers take time to work out the kinks in laying

We got them this last spring, in April or May I think.

What do you feed them?

What do you feed them?

A gland poultry feed and poultry scratch. We also give them lettuce as a treat.

I would put them on a well balanced layer feed and limit any extras and see if the nutrition is the issue before i resort to anything else. What age are your layers? I notice some breeds like the red sex links tend to start to do funky things after a few years in production.

Thanks for the advice about the diet. They are less then a year old.

At less than a year old I would say this is normal. They are still working out the kinks in their "egg factory"
