A few of my Chantecler hens are laying eggs that are slightly deformed. Wringels and thin shell. They are two year hens and I feed grit. Any advise welcomed. Thanks Jack

Jack, Are you also feeding oystershell, free choice? That might help. Hard to regain calcium after it has been depleted from the hen. Cottage cheese or other milk products might help, but contribute to diarhea, so limit the intake. Green feeds may also help replenish calcium, spinach, chard etc. Good luck, CJR
