Shellless eggs

[Cazzandra]

Hi for about a week one of my isabrowns has been dropping a shellless egg under her perch at night. What can I do? I've got shellgrit in there and give them calcium powder on their food. Help!!!

Hello and welcome to BYC, You found an Amazing Poultry Community to be a part of with many great knowledgeable members, who are more then willing to jump in and help you along your journey with any questions you may have.

Sorry you are having issues with one of your Isa Browns. We also have one Isa Brown who has egg issues from time to time and we give her a 1ml oral dose of Calcium Gluconate per 5lbs of body weight and that straightens her right out until the next time. LOL

Shell less and soft egg shells can also lead to her breaking an egg inside her vent while trying to lay the egg and that can be very fatal also if you do not catch it in time and she develops a bacterial infection from it.

Best of luck with your girl.

Hello, and welcome to BYC. How old is the hen that is laying the shell less eggs?

I have never used calcium powder but do give my birds oyster shells for the calcium. Once in a very great while I have gotten a shell-less or soft shell egg. Good luck and have fun...
