What the heck is wrong with these eggs?

[Dianes Divas]

My buff orpington has justbstarted laying her little misform shaped eggs about every few days. Today I decided to hard boil a few of hers. Of course, they don't peel well being fresh, but ugh..the whites were mushy and gel like,,the yolk was cooked..each was like this! What is wrong with her eggs?

Pictures?

Also, id make sure they are getting enough calcium... it's very important in the forming of shells.

It's normal for young pullets or old hens to lay weird shaped eggs, with odd yolks and whites. To help the consistency, make sure the hens have plenty of fresh water. They should also have access to lots of bugs, dirt, etc. Unless you give them a supplement feed (most people don't, since it's harder to find and more expensive), they should occasionally be let outside to free range.

All that is covered...treats..oyster shells, free range in evenings

We had that problem with some of ours and I realized that I had given more than the usual amount of treats in the previous few days (I was tasked with the fruit tray for a cookout--lots of watermelon scraps!). We cut the treats way down, added scrambled egg for a few days and it definitely got better. We thought maybe too little protein?

Thank you!!! I'll let up on the watermelon‍

I have started taking the extra watermelon or rinds and throwing it in the deep freezer for the super hot days. Stretches the treats out and cools them off at the same time! Good luck!
