I have one easter kegger that started laying about a month and a half ago. Since then twice she has laid an egg with no shell. It seems to happen when she has already laid an egg that day. She lays almost every day, and I provide lots of oyster shells, what could be the problem. I don't know...
She/he is about a month and a half old and is one of the same easter egger chicks from my previous gender post (if you go to ny profile). Seems like this ones comb is developing a little more pink and larger at the top than the other ones is..? However it doesnt look like there are three rows of...
It just seems strange that the difference between their tails is so extreme! We almost didn't think the white one, named Ping, would really have much of a tail. It didnt really start growing until a week ago at most. Was just two ittle short nubby feathers on each side for a long time.

We got Dominiques, cochins, and brahmas. After some research I figured they were Easter eggers which is great. The chipmunk looking one was the one I thought might be a roo. Mostly because of the chicks stance and tail. I sure hope it isnt!! Thanks for responding, and I hope you are right...
My mother and I recently got our very first flock of chicks around 4 months ago so we are still super novice on identifying, guessing sex, etc.. So far we've pretty lucky with our chicks we purchased from cackle (all lived and all were the right sex leaving us with all pullets and one baby roo)...
