sootem Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 I know this isn't a new topic but....... The girls are now 24 weeks old and have been laying perfect eggs for the last 4 weeks. However yesterday and today one of them (don't know which one) has laid two softies in a row. I don't understand why this should be when all the others are fine so they are obviously getting enough grit etc. Is this something to worry about!!! Reassurance please.

meezers Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 I would guess it's normal as they haven't been laying long. I hadn't had a soft shell until pepper started laying - she was the last to start and laid three soft shells in the first two weeks, she still lays the odd one now, though the others never have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamebird Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 My chickens are about 28 weeks and one of them still lays a softie every now and then. However, she looks fit and well so I don't worry. I put limestone flour in their feed and when she does lay a normal egg the shell is perfect. All chickens are different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
