Soft shelled eggs

[Gaylyn James]

Hi all. I’m new here. My hens have had coccidiosis. I’ve been treating them. One of them has laid an egg that was flat with no inside. I have given her calcium citrate tablets for the last two days. The egg membrane felt like it had dried. There was no sign of albumen or yolk. Has anyone had this experience? She was fine before the coccidiosis.

Is she a new layer?and..

It could be lash egg/material. Could you get a picture of it?

Welcome!

I found a dried egg membrane once, pretty sure my birds ate the content of a shell-less egg and left the membrane... I agree a picture would help figuring out what went on!

Hello, welcome to BYC! Nice to meet you. Good luck treating the coccidiosis!
I've had plenty of shell-less eggs from my hens, and a couple like you're having. Just keep giving the calcium everyday for about a week and that should help.

Welcome to BYC. I'd just keep an eye on them. The stress of being ill could have caused it.
