Weird Guinea Egg

[ShakeragSusan]

I have eleven 19 week guineas who have been laying since 16 weeks. Over half of the eggs I am finding are soft shelled. I would be concerned, but just over a week ago, I lost six guineas to dogs, so I had assumed they were simply stressed.
Now, I am beginning to wonder. I have only found 5 hard shelled eggs total and almost twice that soft shelled to shell-less.

This evening I found this:











The other bit on my hand is another soft shell. I found it just a few inches from the other egg and about a foot from that a yolk just in the bedding.

Have you ever seen an egg like this? I do know that my guineas have laid some more normal eggs than I have found because I found the remains in the woods where I assume raccoons had eaten the contents. Yes, they have oyster shell available, but I haven't seen them shown much interest in it. I also have 17 week old chickens, if that matters.

Thanks for any help or information, from you all.

Edited to add: I didn't know if this should be in guineas or egglaying. I'm sorry if this is the wrong place.

Just wanted to say I am sorry you lost some of your chickens Maybe giving them some yogurt might help and some scrambled eggs. Hope it gets better for you and your chickens!

**Edited to say, I meant to say Guineas, and not chickens, sorry!

Thanks, Angie. I'll try that! So, you think it could really be stress?

 

[Angie8eggs]

I think it could be, it might take at least a month at the most for them to lay normal eggs, hopefully sooner for you!

Thanks. I hope things improve soon.

Let me know how things go I meant to tell you to, you can always try oyster shells if it still hasn't changed.

I have oyster shell available already. Found three more shell-less eggs since last night. I do still find the occasional normal one. And, thankfully, no more of the truly strange ones pictured above.
I'll gladly give an update when things are improved.

Oh, I almost forgot. I just started making FORCO prebiotic available. Don't know if the guineas or chicken are eating it, but someone is.
