welovemarmite Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I got my girlies at the end of September and three of them are laying well. Madras, our speckled, has only been laying for about a week or so and was giving us an egg most days. However, the shell is really thin and today was broken. They all have the same diet. Anything else I can do to help or is this just early day syndrome? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Soft shelled eggs and odd shaped eggs are very common in the early days, give her some time and it should settle down once she's in the swing of things. Do they have easy access to a grit supply? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjp Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 put a slug of cod liver oil in the feed if you've got any dandilion leaves there a good source of calcium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welovemarmite Posted November 24, 2009 Author Share Posted November 24, 2009 Thanks - they have plenty of grit. I will try the cold liver oil and see what happens. I guess I am just being a bit impatient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
