The eggshell is a protective layer for the embryo. 95% of the shell consists of calcium carbonate that builds up on the inner membrane.
I don't think its low CA causing this.
Deficiencies involving vitamins E, B12, and D as well as calcium, phosphorus, selenium do impact the formation of the egg shell; but most commonly resulting in THIN or SOFT shells or eggs without a shell (only the inner and outer membranes and the yolk).
EXCESSIVE consumption of phosphorus or calcium is more likely to result in eggs with an abnormally thick shell or rough shells.
Has the hen been treated with an antbiotic recently?
Sometimes excessive use of antibiotics can have the same result.

Is this when you hit the "reply" button at the bottom of the thread (last post) but the "quote" button on a post works?
I cant reproduce this, have checked data bases for errors, compacted server data base etc.....found no errors...
Is it still doing it, anyone else having the issue?
