Vix_Chicks Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Morning all. Well, went to let the girls out this morning and found that one of them had laid an egg!!!! However, it was broken and had fallen through the bars . When I picked it up, it felt quite soft. The girls have only just started free-ranging, so perhaps aren't picking up enough grit. Should I scatter some in their run?? Please help. We are so close.... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Don't worry . The first eggs can be a bit erratic - it should settle down very soon . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janty Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Mine also laid a few softies in the beginning. If the problem persists, try some limestone flour in with their food. This will harden up the shells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
