Soft Egg

[jwalters15]

We have a two year old golden comet that has laid a couple soft shelled eggs. We were able to pin point her today and gave her a look over. She appears to be of otherwise good health. Could this uptick in heat be messing with her?

What is their diet?

 

[jwalters15]

18% protein pellet feed, free choice oyster shell, black soldier fly after free range and about 3 hours a day of free range time a day.

I'd suggest providing more oyster shell grit or egg shell powder into their food. Hooe this helps

 

[jwalters15]

we have pvc feed tubes, would you suggest adding it directly into the tubes with the food?

I'd suggest just grinding egg shells or oyster shells into a powder and adding it to a portion of food and feeding it to her. I'd suggest force feeding if she isn't eating. Just make sure she eats and drink. Most importantly make sure she isn't dehydrated )

Get some calcium citrate and give her 1 tablet a day for a few days

That feed is not layer feed correct?

It is layer

It is layer

Ah, okay.
As @Auntiejessi3 suggested, I'd get some calcium citrate. Make sure it has D3 in it too though, and at least 500mg of calcium.
Give one tablet once a day for...lets say a week, and see how she's doing then.
