my first weird egg!

i’m not super worried about it because i’m pretty sure i know what’s going on. poor donna was broody for over two months and has been dropping eggs in unexpected places (like out in the run) the last three days like she just couldn’t hold them in.

so i’ve sorta been expecting a fairy egg but didn’t expect it to be soft too! i’ve just switched everyone to all flock feed (new chicks) with oyster shells available, so her calcium intake has changed but she knows where to get more. maybe there’s something more i could be doing?

the whole gang has just moved into a new coop but donna has laid eggs in the new nesting boxes a couple times so i think she likes it in there alright. we still have the old coop open too but no one seems interested. idk suggestions welcomed (re: the weird laying locations and shell quality) but she’ll hopefully work it out herself!
