    Hen's leg (knee?) scales gone

    Leaky eggs??

    They have pine shaving in their boxes. I always inspect for cracked or broken eggs as I take them out of the boxes, especially if there is debris on them. The shells in question, in the house, are sticky on the downward side like honey or syrup. 💁‍♀️

    Leaky eggs??
