Hello chicken friends,
One of my 12mth old Orpington hens started laying soft shell eggs after the death of her best mate. Before this, her eggs were perfect. We added shell grit and calcium to the water and nothing changed. After 3 weeks of soft shell eggs she is now not laying at all. She doesn’t even do the egg song anymore. She is happy, eating, and shows no sign of being unwell. Should I be worried?
