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. |

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. |

Yeah, they’re a bit odd to handle, aren’t they? We had a funny (probably local) name for them when I was young, but I can’t renenber what it was! |

I didn’t think I could possibly care less than I do about the Harry royal wedding, but it turns out that there is a whole level of caring less, and that is what I feel about the pages of news stories on the BBC news website as to whether his fiancées dad is going to the wedding. Just bizarre. |

Yeah. I think it's fair enough that Megan gets press attention - she would have know it was part of the deal and she'll be used to it anyway, what with being a famous and everything. But her dad isn't doing anything by choice, poor fucker. |

Prepare for desperate reporters talking to moronic members of the public who’ve been lining the streets since the middle of April, in an effort to avoid having any dead air throughout the whole day. I hope the happy couple have a lovely day, but i really don’t want to know anything about it. |
