    (EMERGENCY) Hen with broken egg inside body

    I noticed she was lethargic and had a penguin stance. When I picked her up I immediately saw clear egg yolk-mucus goop out of her vent, which looked enlarged. She was quickly declining so I soaked her in epsom salt and tried to feel around for an egg with a lubricated gloved finger. I couldn't...

    Weird Egg

    I went outside to collect my eggs this morning and I found this egg. It looks almost like a umbilical cord is attached to the eggs. I’ve never seen anything like it. I cracked the egg and even the yolk had what looks like a cord attached to it. Is my hen sick or is there something wrong? She’s...

    Pullett shows all signs of laying but only layed two abnormal eggs in a month

    I have a Black Copper Maran Pullett who has been quite the mystery. She layed her first egg about a month ago after at least a week of doing egg songs and wandering in and out of the coop. The egg was fine but the shell was overcalcified. A couple days later, she had a soft shelled egg. Keep in...

    Darkish spots on eggs?

    I’ve noticed several of my hens are laying eggs that have some darker spots on them. It almost looks like the marks are inside the shell. I noticed this seemed to start around when the weather got colder. Could it have something to do with condensation maybe? The eggs seem normal when I open...

    Hi guys, I have three jumbo quail hens that I keep in one coop all around 1 year old. They typically lay in the afternoon. This morning I found something really strange that seems to be a deformed egg. It is dark green, seems to have a leathery but also fragile shell. It must be from a hen...

    Soft-shelled eggs, and now a double-yolker. Is this normal?

    Hello! So, I have this Swedish Blue duck that I took in about two weeks ago. She’s around 10 months old, so this is her first time laying. Every single egg she’s laid so far has been small and soft shelled, right up until today where I found a huge, hard, double yolker. I’m confident it’s her...
