I have a backyard flock of 9 hens on half an acre of lawn, there's three three year olds and the rest are on their second year. Recently, I had to enclose their roaming space on the lawn to less than half of what they had. I try to let them out to roam the entirety of their former space every day, but it's just not safe for them anymore if I'm not home. Roughly coinciding, many of the hens' eggs have thinner shells, with one of them laying shelless eggs(but I believe she started doing this before the enclosing). I procide oyster strong layer feed, and I'm going to start giving them back the eggshells to eat. Any thoughts on why my hens have thinner shells?
