Title: Thin egg shells...
Hi Makenna,
 
I just remembered this resource in which you might be interested: http://www.plamondon.com/freerange.html  He has a really good free newsletter and alot of resources about doing chickens for eggs and pasture poultry.  The sign-up is at the very top of this web page on the right.  I just forwarded to your email address his last newsletter, sent out early April so you can see for yourself.

Subject: [Market-farming] Thin egg shells...

My layers (hens) are producing thin-shelled eggs (some even without shells altogether). I give them oyster shells for calcium, and they’re free range, so I’m wondering what else I can do to prevent this and increase minerals in their diet, organically?

Also, does anyone have other good farm listservs I could join? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
