jos Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Hi, one of my ex-batts ( I got them in May) is only producing eggs with absolutley no shell/no membrane. A couple of days age I found a complete egg in the nest box: as if it had just been broken prior to frying. No shell or membrane to be seen. Today I watched as she passed the white bit and then a few moments later the yolk. It seems to have been going on for a couple of weeks now. She is ok until an hour or so before she passes these "eggs" and perks up almost immediately afterwards. I have been putting limestone in their mash. The others seem to be laying fine. Should I be worried? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theherd123 Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 It sounds like she is lacking in calcium and could do with more than just the limestone flour. You can get a liquid calcium supplement from the Domestic Fowl Trust, its called Davinova C and works wonders - i use it with my chooks when they produce eggs with no shell and it sorts them out Also ensure they have plenty of grit too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
