I have three Wyandotte’s that are seven months old and just coming into lay. This is my first experience with Wyandotte’s. We have caught two of these hens laying soft eggs. I’m wondering if this is a breed thing. Anyone else notice their Wyandotte’s having these issues. Is it just because they are young and still developing?
This last one has me concerned, I just happened to notice her doing the laying stance but it was strange because she was in the yard and not the nesting box. (In my experience they are going to lay a soft egg when they lay out in the yard like that.) Then she passed (Squirted) yoke. I started paying closer attention! Thinking she had a broken egg inside and knowing what that can mean. I took a closer look and saw that it was a soft egg that had just burst while I was watching. The soft “shell” Was still mostly in but after she tried for a couple of minutes to pass it, it started to pull back. She let me get close so I gently pulled and she started pushing again and a very weird soft shell can out. There was what looked like egg white at the very end with no shell around it. So I’m still concerned she has some left in there. Thoughts?
