chickens

Idk if anyone else here has chickens but tsc and southern states couldn't answer me...

I got 6 that are about a year and a half old. And gradually they are laying eggs that are cracked in a spiderweb pattern. Tsc suggested giving them oystershells and ss said give them leftover eggshells. Nothing is helping, actually getting worse. Now the majority of eggs I get every day are cracked. Started a couple months ago if that helps.. they get plenty of water and regular chicken food and they free range when I'm home.

Anyone out there have chickens or know someone to ask?

Are they just getting corn food or are they getting an egg layer blend? we have about 20 chickens and 2 roosters and they get both daily.

Humpy. I don't like your nickname for me

maybe it was amusing to me when mike rattled it off but its gettin old and a little offensive... thanx.. I have been on chicken websites.that one also. But what I got out of it was same as farm stores recomended.. oyster shells and eggshells and some dry gravel.. but been doin that and not helpin.
Back in spring we started getting them cracked occasionally. Thought maybe one chicken had a prob but like I said most of them are cracked anymore.
