    Funky Eggs/Anyone got an idea why one of my ladies lays these funky shape eggs?

    llarsonll- My two young doms are going thru their 1st molt. Eggs slowed down during the winter, however I would get an egg like this maybe once every two weeks. Now I get one weekly. Just might be one of them. Thanks :)

    I have 2 older Doms, 2 doms about two years old, 1 rhode island red about 2 years, 2 older buff orps & 2 red productions about 2 years old. No one in distress. Just one or more unusually large egg each week with shell defects. Egg so oblong that egg carton wont close properly. haha
