There may be several reasons why chickens lay soft-shell eggs:
Calcium deficiency: Chickens need a lot of calcium during egg production, and if the calcium content in the feed is insufficient, or the chicken's absorption capacity is not good, it will cause chickens to lay soft-shell eggs.
Vitamin D3 deficiency: Vitamin D3 is an important element in promoting calcium absorption, and if a chicken is deficient in vitamin D3, it can also lead to soft-shell eggs.
Health status of chickens: If chickens suffer from diseases, such as respiratory diseases, digestive diseases, etc., it can also affect the health of chickens, resulting in chickens laying soft-shell eggs.
Environmental factors: The living environment of chickens will also affect the quality of eggshells, such as temperature, humidity, light, etc. If the environment is not suitable, it will also cause chickens to lay soft-shell eggs.
To solve the problem of chickens laying soft-shell eggs, the following measures can be taken:
Provide adequate calcium and vitamin D3: Add the right amount of calcium and vitamin D3 to the feed to meet the nutritional needs of the chickens.
Maintain a good living environment: provide suitable temperature, humidity and light for chickens, keep the chicken house clean and hygienic, and reduce the occurrence of diseases.
Check the health status of the chicken regularly: If the chicken is found to have symptoms of disease, it should take ** measures in time.
Appropriately increase the amount of exercise in chickens: Exercise can promote the metabolism of chickens and improve the quality of eggshells.
