Why Did the Chicken Lay the Soft Shell Egg? Eggshell Quality, Calcium & Health

Why are my chicken eggshells thin, soft, or breaking easily?

In Episode 38 of The Poultry Doc Podcast, Dr. Blayne Mozisek explains the most common causes of poor eggshell quality in backyard chickens and laying hens.

We discuss why calcium is important, when calcium may not be the real problem, and why egg safety matters when choosing medication for your backyard chickens.

If you raise backyard chickens, manage laying hens, or want healthier eggs from your flock, this episode will help you better understand egg production, poultry nutrition, and flock health.
