     Studies show within 67 weeks or less your hens eggshell strength is starting to decline (in one study between weeks 33 and 67 there was a 25% decline in eggshell strength. The older the chicken, the less it absorbs critical nutrition for egg production. Which makes their systems rob nutrients from their own bones for egg production.
