I have 6 Barnies, they did start laying at about 28 weeks, but that is not an issue with me. Most of my poultry did. They don't lay the really dark eggs, but they are large, dark brown and some...

Leghorn

Leghorns are great egg laying chickens. They are friendly to other Leghorns and can easily fly. The only problems is that they are bad in the pecking order and they can make a mess of the yard....

I assume this is just a fluke.A little extra calcium deposit on outside of shell. I have no idea which duck laid it. This was laid a few days ago and I haven't seen another one. I also assume it could do damage to the duck with an abnormal protrusion such as this coming out when it is laid?

I just put a chicken egg in my incubator and it looks like that. I'm not sure if it will present problems at hatching or not. I noticed that the air bubble is below the weird bump on my egg. Hopefully since the air bubble is not too far away from where it should be, it should be fine. I hope this helps.

Interesting. I noticed in my kitchen eggs when I get those that it you poke them too much they pop off the egg shells so i've been rejecting any eggs with that anomaly from my hatching attempts.

Very interesting.

Looks like a calcium deposit to me. I wouldn't be too worried about it! I'm sure it will be just fine!

We get those sometimes. Doesn't seem to be a problem for the ducks or us.

Looking for ducks? Please consider adopting rescued ducks. There are many places and people who do rescues, but we are not allowed to post the links due to BYC regs. So fire up your web browsers and find some sweet, grateful duckies.

sorry to invade on this post, but any idea what THIS is???

we've head several of those, with kind of a 'paper bag' and a little slime around an odd shaped egg -with a hard shell-inside it, and also just some eggs that were just slightly odd shaped, without the 'paper bag'. this one almost seemed like an egg inside an egg... laid by a 1 year old Magpie.
