Bramble,my French Maran has always laid beautiful,large deep speckled eggs up until about 10 days ago.

Then,all of a sudden,they got thin of shell & fragile,often being broken in the nest box.

 

I added Limestone flour to their feed, & a splash of Shellstim to their water.

 

But,over the last 2 days,she has produced these

They are of a normal size,but are the most lumpy ,distorted eggs I have ever seen..............& I have seen some odd eggs in my time!

The photo really does not do them justice at all.

They still have a thin shell too.

Any ideas on why this is?

Is she getting on a bit?

 

That can affect the shell formtion.

 

My Peckadilly lays eggs that look a bit like that.....not quite so extreme though.....and she is nearly 4.

No, she is a youngish hen - about a year old at the most

She is in great health apart from the strange eggs,& has been recently wormed,mited etc.

 

She has never had a moult - maybe she has one on the way?
