Hi everyone. I know this has been posted and discussed before, probably many times, but I couldn't find a thread on it.
One of my Isa Brown's (I'm in Australia) is laying a very soft shelled egg, the other two girls' eggs are normal. I have three chooks and they all lay daily, but one of them lays eggs like this every day. Often the other two ladies squash them as they hop in the box to lay (there are three boxes but they all lay in the one box every single day). They are eating a mix of layer pellets and fresh kitchen scraps.
I read somewhere about adding pumpkin seeds to the pellet mix which I did, no change.
Is she sick? She seems healthy, and the soft shells don't bother me necessarily, but I just want to make sure she's ok and hopefully fix whatever might be affecting her. Thoughts?
