    How old are your girls?

    Mine are just turning two and it’s my first flock…I’d gotten some soft-shell eggs lately (which are surprisingly durable), but that’s about it.

      You might need to get some oyster shells. They might not be getting enough calcium. Especially young hens need it sometimes.
