There are soft shell eggs, shell-less eggs, rubber eggs, and partially-shelled eggs.<\/p>\n<p>On some occasions, hens can lay eggs that have no shell at all. In this case, you\u2019re only able to see a membrane- and albumen-wrapped egg yolk. In other cases, the results only turn out slightly better, with eggs appearing to have a shell, but one that can be cracked very easily.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Factors_That_Impact_Eggshell_Formation\"><\/span>Factors That Impact Eggshell Formation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A shell is formed to provide protection to the life growing inside an egg. It\u2019s a compact and sturdy layer that blocks dangerous pathogens and bacteria from invading the yolk. In light of this, chicken embryos developing inside shell-less eggs are extremely vulnerable to outside elements.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a good chance these eggs could be carrying a variety of bacteria and germs. Defective shells aren\u2019t all that bad, especially if you\u2019re looking to use them for animal consumption.<\/p>\n<p>Thin-shelled eggs, for example, are packed with protein and are a great food source for farmhouse pigs. You\u2019ll want to make sure, however, that the eggshells aren\u2019t completely shattered before feeding them to the animals.<\/p>\n<p>It is a possibility that thin-shelled and soft-shelled eggs won\u2019t happen very often. Be sure to move them for <a href=\"https:\/\/rurallivingtoday.com\/backyard-chickens-roosters\/chicken-nesting-boxes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">chicken nesting boxes<\/a> immediately. However, to ease your worries, let\u2019s take a look at all the elements that factor into raising chickens for their eggs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Chickens_Age\"><\/span>Chicken&#8217;s Age<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A young hen is more susceptible to laying a soft-shelled egg. Older hens are unlikely to pose these kinds of problems as they\u2019ve already gone through the biological process of laying eggs several times over. In this case, you\u2019re looking at an underdeveloped biological framework as a potential reason for why eggs are coming out soft in some hens.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Calcium_Deficiency\"><\/span>Calcium Deficiency<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/rurallivingtoday.com\/backyard-chickens-roosters\/whats-best-nutrition-plan-healthy-chickens\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">hen\u2019s diet<\/a> is another possible culprit for why she could have laid a soft-shelled egg. Grower rations are usually fed to younger hens, while older hens receive layer rations. Grower feed is also known to contain much less calcium compared to layer feed.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">In Young Hens<\/h3>\n<p>Since calcium is critical to egg development, it follows that younger hens are much more likely to lay eggs that have underdeveloped or even non-existent shell layers. Calcium supports the building of eggshells, which makes it a necessary nutrient for hens of all ages.<\/p>\n<p>The moment you notice any hen in your flock laying soft-shelled eggs, quickly switch up its feed to a layer ration. More often than not, giving your hens calcium-rich feed greatly decreases the possibility of them laying soft- or partially-formed eggs.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll soon notice their eggs coming out fully developed and healthy. If this still isn\u2019t the case, you\u2019re going to have to include calcium supplements in your hen\u2019s diet.<\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind that feed containing a good amount of calcium might still not be able to yield eggs with fully-developed eggshells. This is when you have to accept the fact that younger hens just don\u2019t have the physical structure to support eggshell formation.<\/p>\n<p>When young hens take in calcium, they end up applying the nutrient to other parts of their system.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">In Older Hens<\/h3>\n<p>As soon as they grow older, however, their bodies will realize that more calcium needs to be allocated for the production of eggs. Older hens are perfectly suited for egg-laying because even when they don\u2019t have enough calcium in their diet, they\u2019re able to draw the nutrient from some other part of their body.<\/p>\n<p>There is only going to be a problem if the hen\u2019s bones are weak\u2014a sign that it lacks calcium.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mv-video-target mv-video-id-c17wv6cv1ct2d89ydee9\" data-video-id=\"c17wv6cv1ct2d89ydee9\" data-volume=\"70\"><\/div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Addressing_Calcium_Deficiency_in_Hens\"><\/span>Addressing Calcium Deficiency in Hens<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for calcium supplements for hens that are about to go on full lay, strongly consider incorporating toasted eggshells and oyster shells into their diet. While you\u2019re at it, you\u2019ll also want to make sure the rest of your flock is fed the right way.<\/p>\n<p>Get more information on how to accomplish this by checking out the <a href=\"https:\/\/rurallivingtoday.com\/backyard-chickens-roosters\/best-chicken-feed-options-flock\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">best chicken feed options for your flock<\/a> in the market. Calcium deficiency is not going to be the worst thing that happens to your precious hens. Rest assured that if this is their only problem, you have a variety of scientifically proven ways to address it quickly and efficiently.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Chickens_Under_Stress\"><\/span>Chickens Under Stress<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Now, stress is definitely a killer; it may not kill your chickens outright, but it will ruin their egg-laying capabilities to a certain degree. You\u2019ll notice immediately if a hen is stressed out if it\u2019s not as active as it usually is and doesn\u2019t feed as much.<\/p>\n<p>Their soft-shelled eggs will also be a sign that they\u2019re probably not feeling as well as you think. The problematic issue of stress can arise from several factors, which include the changing seasons and the type of environment your flock is living in.<\/p>\n<p>Heat can potentially be devastating for your chickens, especially in the absence of cover and lack of water access.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll need to make sure your flock has regular access to shaded areas throughout the day to keep them cool, and a regular supply of water to keep them hydrated. Of course, you also have to accept the fact that weather changes are beyond your control.<\/p>\n<p>You may not have been able to stop the changes in the weather and temperature from taking a toll on your hens and causing them to lay underdeveloped eggs, but you did do your part to ensure they survived.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the day, nothing else is going to matter as much. Moving on, let\u2019s take a closer look at the different stress factors that influence the kind of shells a hen\u2019s eggs end up having:<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Environmental_Stress\"><\/span>Environmental Stress<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The living conditions of your flock can greatly impact their stress levels. One instance is when chickens have to live with a multitude of other chickens, sometimes other animals, and compete for shade, food, water, and other necessities they need to survive.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s far from being an ideal scenario and is something that is almost always guaranteed to cause stress. These less-than-ideal conditions could negatively impact some chickens more than others.<\/p>\n<p>Chicks and sick chickens could possibly end up dying, and hens in full lay may end up laying eggs that are underdeveloped.<\/p>\n<p>There are regions that require keepers to regulate the size of their coop so that the chickens are able to grow and live a healthy life.<\/p>\n<p>In these areas, failing to raise your chickens the right way could get you in trouble with the law. Having a large number of chickens packed in a small coop is unhealthy, not just for the chickens but also for those raising them.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine how fast bacteria and diseases could spread in this kind of scenario. Chickens tend to get stressed from mating too much, which is exactly what happens when they\u2019re all packed together, so make sure your flock has just enough space to roam around.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, you\u2019ll also need to implement a healthy rooster-to-hen ratio so that your hen\u2019s ovaries don\u2019t get stressed out from the frequent mating.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 990px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/rurallivingtoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/chickens-laying-eggs-with-no-shell-2.jpeg\" alt=\"chickens laying eggs with no shell\" width=\"1000\" height=\"665\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">chickens laying eggs with no shell<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Heat_Stress\"><\/span>Heat Stress<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Now, this one is the real killer. Not only is the stress caused by the sun\u2019s relentless burning heat something for you to worry about when raising chickens for their eggs, but it\u2019s also a serious threat to your chickens\u2019 health and well-being.<\/p>\n<p>Hot weather conditions can lead to the production of underdeveloped eggs, usually thin-shelled eggs or eggs without any form of shell covering.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll notice a big difference in how eggshells turn out when you compare batches laid during the warmer months with those laid during the colder months.<\/p>\n<p>Reproduction during the winter season generally leads to healthier batches of eggs. Chickens on the receiving end of the sun\u2019s heat are definitely going to feel its full intensity.<\/p>\n<p>If they aren\u2019t able to seek cover under the shade during these moments, they could potentially end up getting harmed or even dying.<\/p>\n<p>This is, again, why we stress the importance of having a coop that has enough areas under the shade for all the fowls.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, there must be enough clean water sources inside the coop to help the chickens combat the very worst of the summer heat.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/rurallivingtoday.com\/backyard-chickens-roosters\/how-to-keep-chickens-cool-in-the-summer-heat-tips-for-beginners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Keep Chickens Cool in the Summer Heat<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The amount of heat absorbed by hens will impact their laying abilities. Their lack of cooling mechanism means you have to put double effort into making sure they\u2019re well-fed and properly hydrated during the hotter months, as well as able to seek refuge from a number of shaded areas inside their coop.<\/p>\n<p>Juicy treats, such as mealworms, can help take a bit of the edge off the heat and offer some much-needed hydration. You can buy <a href=\"https:\/\/rurallivingtoday.com\/backyard-chickens-roosters\/mealworms-for-chickens\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mealworms for chickens<\/a>&nbsp;live or dried.<\/p>\n<p>Calcium supplements are especially ideal during this time when your chickens need physical and reproductive support the most.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stress_From_Diseases\"><\/span>Stress From Diseases<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There\u2019s no questioning the fragility of chickens. As strong as these animals appear, they\u2019re immune systems are going to cave when subjected to the most damaging conditions.<\/p>\n<p>In these instances, ailments start to develop and make an impact on your fowl\u2019s health. When hens lay soft or partially-formed eggs, they could be suffering from a viral or bacterial infection.<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t want to wait out these issues and hope for the best because as determined and strong-willed as chickens are, they don\u2019t exactly have the greatest immune system.<\/p>\n<p>Ailments and <a href=\"https:\/\/rurallivingtoday.com\/backyard-chickens-roosters\/common-chicken-diseases-know-treat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">common chicken diseases<\/a> that are affecting your fowls could very easily thrive and spread, infecting some of the other members of the flock. When neglected, such issues can get even worse and maybe even end up killing the entire flock.<\/p>\n<p>In the event of severe (and we say severe because even the flu can be fatal to a chicken) health problems, make sure to take your chicken to the vet immediately. Proper diagnoses and treatments are needed for chickens exhibiting symptoms of illnesses. In most cases, once your hens recover from their ailments, they should start laying normal and healthy eggs again.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Are_Chickens_Laying_Eggs_With_No_Shell\"><\/span>Why Are Chickens Laying Eggs With No Shell<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are times when, no matter what you do, there\u2019ll still be that one stray egg that isn\u2019t perfect.
