    Soft and Odd Shaped Egg

    I just got this today. I only have three hens and they all lay different color eggs. There were two eggs in the nesting box and this so I'm assuming it was from the chicken I was concerned about in this thread and I am also assuming that it is a lash egg... 😭

    Soft and Odd Shaped Egg

    I've been keeping an eye on her, her crop is normal by each morning. I haven't seen is full since that one day. I did not do anything to drain it because when I went in the coop with some coconut oil she was fine. Her egg laying has also gone back to normal. Is it possible she resolved this on...

    Soft and Odd Shaped Egg

    The inside felt like a yolk and the outside like a shell. As I said earlier the chickens ate it and I mean went crazy for it. I kind of didn't think it was a lash egg because I got one from another chicken before and it seemed very different. Her crop was empty this morning, would that still be...

    Soft and Odd Shaped Egg

    It felt like an egg and I threw it outside (away from my other chickens) but they found it and ate it.... I had a chicken who laid a lash egg and died a few months later. She died this past October.

    Soft and Odd Shaped Egg

    I have a two-year-old EE who normally lays pretty well until recently. A couple of weeks ago there was something the size of a marble inside a seemingly normal egg. I squeezed it and it looked like little beads came out. I looked into this issue and found that it was just a build-up of calcium...

    Egg abnormality

    There have been quite a few broken eggs in the boxes but the shells don’t seem that thin. I increased the oyster shells I give them. I’m honestly not sure if they’re deficient in calcium and that’s why they’re breaking or if my roo is going in and breaking them because I heard the can happen

    Egg abnormality

    I also gathered an egg that had blood on the outside of it. I’m really not sure what is going on. All my hens seem happy and healthy. There have been quite a few broken eggs in the box as well. I there anything to do for a lash egg?

    Egg abnormality

    I posted a thread a few weeks back about a bloody egg. My suspicion is that the same chicken that laid that egg, laid some other egg anomaly. I went to gather eggs this morning to find this odd thing in the nest box with other eggs. I proceeded to open up this weird thing and the inside of it...

    Bloody egg

    Thank you both so much for your replies! I do know which hen laid this egg so I will make sure to keep an extra close eye on her. I was so concerned when I saw this picture but I know I am making up worst case scenarios in my head lol. Is it really possible for the eggs to be fertilized? There...

    Bloody egg

    hi im super new to raising chickens and this is my first post here. I have five hens and one bantam roo. He is much smaller than all the hens so I don’t really think fertilization is possible. My hens are a year old and started laying last summer. I gave some eggs to a family member and they...
