Why do I keep finding cracked eggs?

Cool thanks!

So their calcium is probably ok then since all had good shell quality?

Maybe. Just keep in mind shell quality can vary from egg to egg. A soft shell once in a long while is fine, but if you start seeing eggshell issues more frequently than you're possibly looking at a calcium deficiency, or some other health issue.

Yeah it's been maybe a week or now more like 2 weeks since I've gotten soft eggs. I got them at the end of February. That's like 6 months. I have brahmas and Orpingtons. 3 each.

Originally, I had 8. One died within 48 hrs due to vent issues I believe. One was a rooster I rehomed. Idk if they ate him. It's kinda sad to me since I raised them. My whole family would just cry sobbing of we had to cull one. So that's why we check so often. To stop any egg eaters since we saw a couple completely broken open a while ago. But they are new curious layers so I'm trying to understand lol
