Well actually I’m not positive which one it is because I have two that lay the dark brown eggs and I thought it was the Welsummer laying these but it could be my French blue copper Maran. She doesn’t lay one every single day. Probably 5 a week? They are both a year old and she was laying totally normal eggs till about a few weeks ago. I thought of molting but the only place my welsummer is missing feathers is along her neck bone. It’s weird. No other feather loss so farWhat breed is she? It sounds like a production breed if she is laying everyday. Did she ever lay normal eggs? Adding oyster shells or egg shells to their diet can't hurt, and is something you can try.
Some hens just have defects in eggs, too. Some people cull, some people deal with it, but lets try to see if we can fix it first.
