Eggy eggy

We seem to have a problem, we hope it might sort it's self out, it's soft shelled eggs.  It's a bit like some one was having a practiccal joke one morning leaving a water balloon type egg in the hen house, but no it's a real egg.  So far I've discvoered that it can be quite common for chickens to lay a soft egg every now and then, but if it continues it means there's a problem, either not enough calcium (which they should be having and most the other eggs are ok) or a poorly chicken.  What makes it harder is how to work out who's is who's egg. 
 
So while we woke up early to sit and watch the chickens to find out who laid when and what egg, drinking tea, I decided to leave Jo and make some scotch pancakes for breakfast.  Using my griddle pan which fits beautifully on the new oven and has two nice gas burners burning equally underneath.  The first time I've cooked on it with out burning the food at some point.  What a yummy breakfast and so far no signs of wobbly eggs.
