nin-chicken Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 My hybrid girls are just over a year old and are all good layers, until recently that is. About 6 months ago Felicity started to lay a softie around once a month. My other girls have never laid one. Then over the past couple of weeks she's laid only one normal egg and probably around 5 or 6 softies. I haven't changed their diet and the other two are still laying normally. At first I wondered if it was the heat but its cooled off now. I've cut right back on treats and they always have access to oyster shell & grit. I've put ACV in their water this week and put some egg shell improver in their food. They are wormed every 3-4 months and I've checked them for lice. Is there anything else I can do or can anyone explain what's going on? She is behaving normally otherwise. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 There is a post here http://club.omlet.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=97750&p=1294762&hilit=limestone+flour#p1294762 that talks about softies and using limestone flour and cod liver oil. This is what I do when my ex bat lays softies or thin shelled eggs. Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
