hi all we hall 6 chickens as far as we know 5 of them have been laying
this morning there were 2 eggs in the box i picked up this 1st and it was fine however when i picked put the second i put my fingers through the shell, i though this may have been because it was very freshly laid, however i have picked them up pretty quick before and thye have been hard if just a little tacky.
now this egg is from 1 of our 2 leghorns, and im pretty sure its neither of their 1st eggs although can not 100% gurantee it
when i got it into the kitchen i cracked it into a pot to check if the egg inside was okay and it was
however even after approx 10 mins the shell was still very soft
in addition to their pellets they have lots of veg, rice pasta basically left over food scraps on a daily basis
there is no rooster and they are all eating and drinking well
they have been wormed and they have had a vitiman
can anyone tell me the reason
thanks
