Very thin egg shells

[seahuntmike]

Having a problem with thin egg shells,even a couple of shellless eggs. I feed them layena crumbles and some table food every now and then. Tried giving them crushed oyster shells but they don't seem to care for it.what can I add to their diet to help this out?

How,old our your chickens? I had this problem to. Try feeding them egg shells. Preferably not store bought. (Don't give them the egg shell from a store bought egg) The egg shells are high in calcium which is what they need. I don't know why they won't eat the oyster shells. They will probably grow out of it after a couple weeks. (Assuming they just started laying)

Try the egg shells and see what happens. I have never heard of it happening to older chickens but they definantly need more calcium.
