Healthy eggs start with healthy hens — and they need the right nutrients to build strong, consistent shells.
The science 🥚
Eggshells are made of calcium carbonate, and hens pull calcium from both their diet and their bones to form each shell. Weak or thin shells can be caused by:
• Low calcium or vitamin D levels in the diet
• Stress or illness
• Aging hens
• Inconsistent nutrition
