Soft shell/shell less eggs are usually not much to worry about. New layers will often surprise you with a thin shelled egg or an egg with no shell at all. If it comes from a new layer, it is likely just a mistake as the body is figuring things out. Older hens often do the same thing but it is more because their egg laying system is wearing out. Other things that can cause this are stress, nutrient deficiency, and high temperatures Fairy eggs are also nothing to worry about & some people even thi
