Soft yokes

[i'mclucked]

When I crack eggs into my pan, sometimes the yoke breaks. These eggs are no older than 2or 3 days old ,collected everyday. Are my girls deficient nutritionally in some way, if so what can I do .

This does sound like a nutritional issue. This article addresses optimum nutrition:

I just got a dozen eggs from a friend that had this soft yolk thing going on, and the shells were thinner than I'm used to. I looked at the website and it didn't mention yolks that would break just because they fell into the pan. Could the yolk problem and the thin shells go together as a single problem?

Wow, Possumqueen, you just confirmed my own suspicions. My shells are also softer than before. I will add oyster shell to the diet. I use Layena feed , also free range. Will post results!
