My DH has been finding an egg on the coop floor almosr daily. So this morning I went out to open the pop door I shined the flashlight into the coop and saw and egg so I opened the door and could tell just by looking at it that it was not right. It had kind of a nasty feel. (This was our first one). Our food has calcium and we feed back the shell but it seems like we need to add more calcium.
Why would after they have been laying hard shelled eggs? Could it be a change in the weather?
The egg was not there when they were let out to free range at 3:15. Can a hen lay at night? Could she have been the one laying from the roost all along? She is one of the smallest of my RIR. Could the others be keeping her from getting all the nutrition she needs?
I am also wondering if this has happend before and the ate the egg. But they would leave traces wouldn't they?
Thanks,
Susan
