My most prolific egg layer suddenly layed two soft shelled eggs today. THe first one she layed in the yard after walking around for 1/2 hour acting like she had to poop...soft shelled which was quickly eaten by her two sisters. (she has never layed an egg anywhere but in her nest before now) and then again about 2 hours later in the bottom of her coop (again not in her nest) also soft shelled...I feed she and her sisters a variety of fresh fruits and veggies plus they are free range in our backyard so lots of bugs. They are fed a steady diet of egg layer crumbles...I'm not sure what is going on! They are all around 10-11 months old & they have been laying wonderful hardshelled eggs...
