Strange egg
« on: April 21, 2011, 16:18 »
Today I went to pick up the eggs and there was 1 that had 1/2 solid shell and a flimsy other half!!!  What would have caused this and do I nee to do something with the chicken.
They have grit and shell available to them and are on pellets.
Some advise would be welcome.
Thanks

she could have just rushed the process. Keep an eye on her to see what the next few are like - if they get softer then cut out all treats so they eat more layers and if this doesn't sort her out you may need to look at some extra greens and calcium  :)
Staffies are softer than you think.
