I found this in the pooboard this morning. To me it looks like the membrane just inside the shell. I did not see any shell pieces. The glob at the bottom is gelatinous and appears like the white of an egg would be - kind of jiggly and I see the clear gelatin-type substance. I did not see any yellow in this.
The long strip of -whatever it is - that is in the middle was found in a different part of the pooboard, but certainly could've been dragged from its original spot, if this is part of the same expulsion. Sorry pics are full of PDZ.
I have no idea which one did this - have 15 hens and they move around at night, too. I'm only getting an average of 8 eggs/day - sometimes 10 or 11, and two days ago, only 5.
Have one green egg layer that hasn't laid an egg in 3 weeks, but other than that, she is acting normal. Sits on the other hen's eggs, but no egg from her. She's wild and I can't catch her either.
I crush their egg shells and feed them back. Diet is crumbles upon rising and scraps later in the day. Since they are penned, I always bring a handful of clover or grass when I go out there - which is quite often!
Any suggestions as to what to do? And what this might be? And what may have caused it? Thank you all so much for helping. (Again...)
