thin-shelled egg

thin egg shells can be caused by a nutritional deficiency of calcium, phosphorus, vitamin D, copper or manganese. Other causes are sulfonamides in the diet, end of the laying season, a diet contaminated by DDT and diseases at a chronic or subclinical level, e.g. infectious bronchitis. See also thin-shelled egg.
