Hens laying shell-less eggs, Why and How to solve issue Have you ever wondered why sometimes your chickens lay eggs without shells? Yes, it can happen! These eggs feel like squishy bouncy balls and there are a few reasons as to why they happen. Sometimes these reasons are reversible and other times they are not. This post will take a look at the more common reasons behind these shell-less eggs. Pullets Starting Laying: Sometimes, as new pullets begin to start laying, their eggs can be mis-shaped as well as without shells. The shells can be thin or missing all together. To remedy this, ensure that they are on layer feed and give it some time. With proper nutrition, often their systems just needs a bit of time to figure things out. Lack of Calcium: Be sure that your flock has access to crushed oyster shells or crushed egg shells. To make thick egg shells, the hens need calcium. Diet: Be sure your layers are on layer feed. They also need adequate Vitamin D. Predators: Hens’ bodies form their eggs while they sleep. If for some reason, they are startled in the night from a predator’ visit, sometimes eggs can be laid without shells.Stress: Anytime the flock is under stress such as molting, predators, excessive temperatures, change in the flock etc. Advanced Age: As we age, our bodies slow down. The same goes for chickens. With age comes less reliable reproductive systems, decreases in eggs and sometimes more malfunctions in the egg laying process. Possible Medical Conditions: Unable to absorb dietary calcium Problem with the shell gland Illness/Sickness Diet too high in salt Egg Drop Syndrome
