It may happen the hens lay down eggs with very thin or absent shell, this is a clear indicator of a problem that may depend on several factors.
First the nutrition: it's essential, in fact, that the hens are fed with a good feed enriched with herbs and fresh vegetables and chopped oyster shells, rich in calcium.
It's also necessary to allow the chickens can go out and scratch outdoors, so they can sunbathe and integrate nutrition hunting insects.
It's appropriate to exclude the presence of disease by running a simple serological test.
Stress can be a further cause of the production of imperfect eggs: according to a study conducted by the University of Glasgow in Scotland, in high stress conditions, the cells responsible for production of the shell, secrete acidic substances that impair the formation of the shell.
