Thin-shelled eggs are also caused by a lack of vitamin D in the diet, age, and stress. My girls are just coming out of a hard molt and are starting to lay again. I need to do a better job of providing a separate source of calcium, such as oyster shells or giving them crushed eggshells. I also read that reducing stress and ensuring proper ventilation can also help improve shell quality. For now, I’ll be supplementing their diet with oyster shells. #raisingchickens #thinshelledeggs | The Chick Inn

Why are chicken eggs soft shelled? Have you ever had a soft shelled egg before? 🐓 Calcium deficiency – the most common reason. If a hen isn’t getting enough calcium, there’s nothing to harden the shell. 🐓 Young or older hens – pullets just starting to lay and older hens near the end of their laying years can have shell hiccups. 🐓 Stress – weather swings, predators, molting, changes in routine, or coop drama can interrupt shell formation. 🐓 Egg moved through too fast – sometimes the egg doesn

Soft-shelled or shell-less eggs are not “normal,” and they’re not bad luck. They’re your birds telling you something is wrong.

Soft shell/shell less eggs are usually not much to worry about. New layers will often surprise you with a thin shelled egg or an egg with no shell at all.

Other things that can cause this are stress, nutrient deficiency, and high temperatures Fairy eggs are also nothing to worry about & some people even thi
