Squishy eggs

JackAsp Jun 12, 2009 09:58 AM

Chica is producing eggs every month, but the last two times they've all been squishy. She mated in March, laid 7 good eggs and 1 bad one in April, laid 2 more bad ones in May, mated again, and just laid 8 more, all of which were liquidy. She seems happy and hungry, but all these slugs have me worrying if I need to start upping her calcium levels or something.

Yeah, her calcium levels are uber-low after laying so many this year. I would recommend increasing her calcium intake either from dusting crickets and/or trying to purchase phoenix worms.
