Three hens, all with egg problems

[estersfeathers]

Can someone PLEASE tell me what's going on with my chickens? One is laying only shellless eggs, another (a bird barely a year old) stopped laying for 3 months and has just begun again, and the third lays well, then stops and when she stops, there is yolk in her poop. I've taken one to the vet ($168) and they were useless and they have all the oyster shells they want, but only one seems to be eating them. I love my birds, and I want them to be healthy. Thanks.

Hi, this is a common problem that appears many times on BYC. Check out this current thread, for examples of what you're going through.

You can also search BYC, using terms like "soft shell egg" and "shell less egg".

I just realized you've got a duplicate post on this, over on Egglaying & Behaviors.
