i’m looking for suggestions and advice! Out of our five chickens, only one of them is consistently laying eggs with very soft shells. The top of the eggs are particularly soft with lots of little bumps on the point. Is there anything besides lack of calcium and too much salt intake that can cause this? She’s the only one with that problem. I’m not sure which hen exactly is having the issue but I think it’s our speckled Sussex who is a year and a few months old.
On the other hand, a few of the other girls are laying eggs with average shells but the membranes inside are so tough that in the process of trying to split the membrane, I get eggshell all in my cooking! Thoughts on this phenomenon? Our chickens eat organic grain and free range in our yard every day. Thanks in advance
