I have 6 hens..8-9 mos to 2 yrs. Some of their egg shells are hard and some are really thin.I get 3-5 eggs a day. They get free feed calcium along with their regular food and kitchen scraps. What can I do to make the shells harder or is it even important?My girls started laying last week @17 weeks old. I didn't expect anything exciting on the color of the eggs but I sure am pleasantly surprised. They are gorgeous. I love the shine and superior hardness of the shell.
I have a few girls with fragile shells. I've tried giving oyster shell calcium along with their premium feed but no improvement. It might just be how they are. All 17 get the same feed.I have 6 hens..8-9 mos to 2 yrs. Some of their egg shells are hard and some are really thin.I get 3-5 eggs a day.
