Chickens can sometimes have funny turns, but I wouldn't get worries right away. Keep an eye on her eggs and see what happens over the next couple of days. Also, ensure that your chickens have plenty of calcium in their diet. We sometimes save up the shells of the eggs they have laid and we have cooked and, after drying them out, crush them up and put them back in their food. That could just be a one-off.

We tempted her out with some pasta but she didn't rush around with her sister like she usually does so we put her in her run. After 10 minutes or so I went to check on her and she had laid an egg, but the eggshell was so soft it had broken in the run. After that she perkeed up and went trotting backto her sister. Why did she do that? Is that usual? Was it because I hadgiven her something I shoudn't have?
