What to do if chicken lays soft preserved eggs

Soft-shelled eggs are often found in chicken farms. This is a common phenomenon. There are many reasons for soft-shelled eggs, mainly due to the lack of some minerals in the feed, such as calcium and vitamin D. This will cause the eggshells of the eggs to be relatively thin and brittle. If this happens, the feed should be adjusted in time. Also, uneven mixing of the feed should be avoided and the temperature in the chicken house should be avoided from being too high.

"Soft-shelled eggs" are also called thin-shelled eggs. The thickness of this type of egg is thinner than normal eggs, and it will break immediately if it is lightly bumped or pressed against another egg.

1. The feed lacks minerals for making eggshells, mainly calcium or vitamin D, or long-term high production, and the calcium in the feed can no longer meet the chicken's needs for synthesizing eggshells.

2. The feed is not mixed evenly, the mix is ​​not up to standard, or the calcium and phosphorus are not mixed in a 2:1 ratio, which hinders the absorption of calcium. The lack of manganese in the feed affects the metabolism of calcium and phosphorus.

3. The ambient temperature is too high, the chickens' appetite decreases, and the amount of feed intake is relatively reduced. The amount of calcium taken into the chickens cannot meet the chickens' needs for forming eggshells.

5. The egg shell gland does not function normally and cannot secrete sufficient shell material.

6. When the hen is frightened before laying eggs, the nervous function of the reproductive system is disturbed and disordered, which affects the secretion of shell material.

7. Mycotoxin poisoning causes reproductive tract dysfunction and ovarian dysfunction or degeneration, causing chickens to lay soft-shell eggs, or reduce egg production or lose the ability to continue laying eggs. Severely ill flocks may not fully recover after clearing the toxin.

1. In case of mycotoxin poisoning, add de-mold agents to the feed, which can strongly absorb mycotoxins without absorbing nutrients. At the same time, it can supplement vitamin nutrition and improve immunity and reproductive performance.

2. Adding seven lucky eggs to the feed for a long time can effectively solve the problem of laying hens producing soft-shelled eggs. In addition, it can also prolong the peak egg-laying period, increase the egg production rate, improve the quality of eggs, reduce the occurrence of prolapse and laying fatigue syndrome in laying hens, reduce the feed-to-egg ratio, and reduce the incidence of small eggs, bloody eggs, white-shelled eggs, sand-shelled eggs, and soft-shelled eggs.

The above is the specific content of why chickens lay soft-skinned eggs and what to do if chickens lay soft-skinned eggs. Soft-skinned eggs and thin-skinned eggs cannot be used as breeding eggs or sold as commercial eggs, which will cause certain economic losses. Therefore, chicken farms generally stipulate that the egg breakage rate should not exceed 1% to 3%. I hope this article will be helpful to everyone.
