Clunie Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Hi sounds like they may need some oyster shell grit, but I'm no expert! This did happen with one of my ducks earlier this summer, 2 or 3 softies, then OK eggs for a few days, then back to softies. It resolved when I gave them the oyster shell. So hopefuly it will work for you too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miller30 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Yep just give them oyster shell and grit along with your chickens and they should be ok I sometimes get bouncy eggs and then they go back to normal leanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
