Hey everyone, So this has been my third year with chickens and this summer has not been going very well for me. I've had five hens die on me and they all show the same symptoms before they pass: Soft shelled eggs and lethargy. First they have the soft shelled eggs and then about a day or less before they pass they just get super lethargic. I don't know what to do and am super stressed about it. They have access to oyster shells, I feed them their egg shells crushed up, I thought maybe it was coccidiosis so I put them on corrid, I also thought it was maybe worms so I dewormed them but no luck with that either. I completely cleaned the coop and even laid cement down, they all free range and I am just desperate for some help here and feel so overwhelmed with all of it cause I hate seeing my chickens suffer. If anyone could help me I would greatly appreciate it. I have two that are laying soft shelled eggs, and when I say soft shelled I really mean like no shell. PLEASE HELP ME
