Signs of Calcium Deficiency in Poultry

• Soft or thin eggshells.
• Fragile eggs with frequent cracks.
• Discoloured eggshells with spots or speckles.
• Wrinkled or rough shell surfaces.
• In severe cases, birds may begin eating their own eggs (egg eating/cannibalism).

These symptoms may indicate deficiencies of essential vitamins and minerals, particularly calcium, phosphorus and sodium.
