We are chicken herders, or whatever the term is! A Rhode Rock, a Bluebell and a Ranger that we've called Wattle, Daub and Thatch. Herding chickens is awesome, but three eggs a day is something we weren't prepared for after a week, a first egg on the very first day in their new home was surprising enough. |

They were only 18 weeks old when we got them, barely into the start of laying window. None of the three breeds is expected to lay more then 300 a year, but opinion does seem to be that they need to be reasonably happy on top of being fed. |

| Post subject: | Re: Bits and Bobs 49 |
Not sure if you’re actually asking a question seriously, but if you are, I grew up on a smallholding with lots o’ hens and ducks. Soft shells are usually just part of the laying cycle for either a very young hen just getting used to laying eggs, or very old hen at the end of egg production, but it can also be due to a move and new environment, or stress from a predator in the area over a period of time. If none of those apply it could be diet related, and you can get calcium additives to put into the feed. Often, though, especially if young or recently moved, they’ll gradually rectify to a standard eggs, though you’ll likely get a few long or oddly shaped ones whilst the shell starts to form properly. |

| Post subject: | Re: Bits and Bobs 49 |
Thanks Mimi. It wasn't particularly serious as they're all young and we've bought a different mash which they don't seem to like so they might not have been eating enough (we're adding more than half the original mash again along with some pellets and they're demolishing the combination). Today has seen 3 normal eggs again, which is good because ew. |
