NicChick Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Hi My Light Sussex has just started laying eggs and the first 2 have been softies that have been broken in the Eglu. As I am new to this I wanted some help. Are soft shelled eggs normal for a new layer? Normally when do the shells become harder? Is there something else I should be doing? I have grit in the run for them and they are currently eating growers crumb. They normally free range during the day. Thanks Nic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purplemaniacs Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 First eggs can be sofies, just while egg laying gets established. Chrissie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
