I have a hen that has always had soft shelled eggs. She eats layer feed, and, for her first few eggs, laid ordinary eggs, though they weren’t as hard as others. Then she started laying soft shelled eggs. At a year old now, she still isn’t laying good eggs. Every now and then she has eggs without shells, but she doesn’t really lay anymore. I have provided oyster shells and occasionally gave her some tums with bread (crushed up tums, dissolved in water, and soaked with bread) but she doesn’t usually eat any. What is there left to do to help this? I am in desperate need of her eggs because she is my only hen of this variety for this breeding project. Of all her eggs, there has only been one fertilized and the chick is a rooster. Please help
