soft
(redirected from soft shelled eggs)

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Medical, Legal, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
soft
Flexible and changeable, as in "software," which can be reprogrammed for different results. The computer's soft nature is its greatest virtue; however, the reason it takes so long to get new systems developed in an enterprise has little to do with the concept. It is based on which software tools are used to create the systems and the skill level of the technical staff, compounded by the organization's bureaucracy.
soft
1. Dialect drizzly or rainy
2. (of a diet) consisting of easily digestible foods
3. Chem (of water) relatively free of mineral salts and therefore easily able to make soap lather
4. (of a drug such as cannabis) nonaddictive or only mildly addictive
5. (of a currency) in relatively little demand, esp because of a weak balance of payments situation
6. (of radiation, such as X-rays and ultraviolet radiation) having low energy and not capable of deep penetration of materials
7. Physics (of valves or tubes) only partially evacuated

Not enough calcium in the diet can lead to soft shelled eggs.
If you do, apart from wasting money, you will upset the calcium-phosphorous ratio, and your birds are likely to end up producing soft shelled eggs as well as having brittle bones and feathering -- all the things, including rickets, that you wish to avoid.
