Single hen

[jane carter]

One of our girls, I can't tell which one has laid soft shelled eggs for the last 2 days. They are in the litter tray and have a yolk, white and a shell coloured membrane. The girls are other wise in good form and are eating OK, they are all just over 12 months old.

 

Any help gratfully recieved.

Why not try them with a calcium supplement? A soluble one such as ZolcalD or some limestone flour, available from Ebay as sold for reptiles.

 

I would also cut back o treats for a while to make sure that they fill up on the more nutritious pellets.

I was going to say the same Jane.

 

I use Limestone Flour which is a horse suppliment and you can buy it from equestrian shops.
