paintingbird Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 [b]Hi everyone, I have been reading about old chooks and soft eggs, but my speckldey Elsie is only about 15months old. She was laying lovely dark brown eggs ( she didn't start until September last year) but for the last two month she has been laying softies, she is healthy and bright and shows no signs of illness. We have tried adding extra grit, oyster shells and crushed egg shells but to no avalil. The other two speckdeys, Bertha and Maud are the same age and are just fine. The 3 pepperpots are older and they are fine too. Is there anyone out there who could give us some advise, we are getting desperate. In great anticipation of an eggacting reply. paintingbird.
