Soft-Shell Egg

[Dadspossum]

My Golden-Comet has been laying soft shell eggs latley

and I dont know what is wrong

. I have been giving them oyster shell and crack corn. She is a very dark color and her eggs are always really dark compared to my other hens. Any advice is helpful.

Thanks For Your Help

God Bless

Are they on laying mash?

Yes, that's my question too. Are you giving them only corn and oyster shell?

i am havin the same problem the eggs are getting smaller and lighter and softer what can cause this. i was out of town for a week and family took care of the chicken, she was feeding them scratch instead of 15% pellets, they have beem back on 15% for 3 days now hope this will work???!!

I also give them 18% scrach. What is laying mash exactly???

They need to have feed and not just scratch, & corn!! That doesn't have the protein that they need!!

I give mine flock raiser feed, scratch, BOSS, oyster shell & grit
