Someone laid an soft shell egg today. Commercial eggs are all screened before going into the carton so youβd never see something like this at the store. Itβs often caused by a simple βhiccupβ during the normal egg production cycle and usually itβs a big deal. It can also occur if a chicken doesnβt have enough calcium in its diet, if the chicken is stressed for an array of reason, or even due to old age. Weβll keep an extra eye on our girls this week but this is likely what is sometimes called a glitch egg. (at The First Best Thing Farms)β¨https://www.instagram.com/p/CORoSgYHtYX/?igshid=1vrkgpq7fqkhu
