Do you give them cracked oyster shells or some other source of calcium? Feed it separately, so they do not eat more than then need. They seem to eat only what/when they need calcium for me, as I feed it in a separate feeder always available to them. The oyster shell I use are VERY cheap—only 59 cents for 50 pounds!

Subject: [CHICKENS-101] Egg Question
OK, I have another oddity.
Every once in a while I get an egg with paper thin shell. It collapses in my hand.
I have 9 Rhode Island Reds, I feed them organic pellets and organic scratch.
I also give them greens from the garden, they have plenty of water, they have a dust bath area.
I get one about every 10 to 15 days.
Any ideas?
Thanks
