Hi I am new to keeping chickens and we were doing really well getting an egg or two a day from our 2 girls but over the last two days I have found what looks like half egg half poo in the house in a morning. Does anyone know what is wrong?

They can lay soft shelled eggs, which just means they need some more calcium in their food, if you are using a layers pellet it shouldn't really happen. However it sounds like a normal poo to me, they can do some where the urate almost looks like a slightly wringled shell of an egg. I did find a great website which had pictures of all the different kinds of poo that chickens can do......I spent a very humerous afternoon looking through that and comparing it to my chickens contributions........
