alex_m Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 She laid it in the run and it was a softie and tiny. Before the OH went to get a camera she pecked it and then they all started eating it. I couldnt stop them it was a free for all Should I be worried at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Not at this stage. It is very common. The soft shell is just a blip and as her system adjusts to laying, the shells should firm up. They usually devour a soft egg, but it won't necessarily mean that they will break open normal eggs to eat them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poachedegg Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 A couple of mine lay softies that the others devour, however leave the intact ones alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
