Roksteddie Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 One of my girls no longer lays egg with smooth egg shells. For weeks now the shells are always sprinkled with areas where the surface is bumpy, grainy and rough to the touch. The rest of the shell is of excellent strength. Are these calcium deposits? The other 2 girls' eggs are perfectly smooth and normal and it just doesn't look so good in an egg box when there are some that are clearly not 'perfect'. Silly, I know! What could be causing this? Is this the result of too much calcium in her diet (though they all eat the same)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyRoo Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Ours do this sometimes; I've no idea why, but it doesn't seem to negatively affect them in any way so I just ignore it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roksteddie Posted July 11, 2017 Author Share Posted July 11, 2017 Well there's been no change. So I guess this is how they'll be long-term Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
