    What happened to my eggs?

    I got an incubator to hatch out my Jersey Giant eggs. First time using an incubator. Out of 11 eggs 6 seem to not be doing anything (maybe infertile). 4 we’re developing then all the blood vessels seemed to detach and pool in the same spot. And one is maybe coming along properly. I have pictures...

    Strange looking egg…

    Hey all, I got a strange egg today from one of my chickens. She’s a two year old isa brown (or that’s what I was told). She normally lays very big dark brown eggs. Her feathers have been a little “molt-ish lately”, wondering if this could be a disease, calcium deficiency or what? I looked at...

    Body check eggs?

    We went to collect our eggs today and got two misshapen eggs. I did some research and they seem to be “checks”. I don’t really see my girls fighting with each other or anything so I’m wondering if this can be caused by the heat? We are having a small drought and it’s been 90° almost every day...

    Odd Yolk?

    Cracked one of our newest pullets egg this morning. The egg had two yolks. The one on the left appeared normal but the one on the right had a different appearance I’ve never seen before. Any ideas? Is it safe to eat? She has only been laying for maybe two weeks.

    First egg is funny looking!

    I have 5 hens and 2 have started actively laying. I found a third egg in the coop today though that was really small, a little pointier, lighter in color, and kind of translucent with this tiny dots all over it. I know first eggs can be funky looking but I just wanted to make sure this didn’t...

    Weird stuff on my egg

    While collecting eggs, I found this egg that has a weird abundance of bug egg(?) looking stuff on it. The egg was rotten anyways so I didn’t mind throwing it away but it was pretty gross. Just out of curiosity, anyone know what it is? Image below (it’s kinda nasty)

    What is going on with this egg?

    I got a shock when I cracked it open.. Has it just gone bad? Why is it so red? It doesn't smell bad btw Edit: I just realized that it's most likely a half developed chick 🤦🏻‍♀️

    Is this an egg remnant?

    Hi duck-loving community, Today, after letting our Pekin duck take a bath, we found something in the water that looks like what might be some remnants of an egg that never developed. It's an elongated, translucent, almost transparent, soft and slimy substance of about 3 to 4 inches long and a...

    Whats wrong with this egg?

    Hi everyone. I'm excited to have joined the group. Could anyone please help me to identify what is in this chicken egg that I cracked this morning? Is it excess chalaza? It didn't smell and felt stretchy. Thank you in advance for all your help.

    Pretty sure it was my Leilei. I snapped her out of being broody in the past week, and she's been back-and-forth having a full crop at night. She has good weight on her, and she looks and acts fine. Contents of the egg was a normal egg white. I've been giving my babies a teaspoon of Rooster...

    Hen lays rubber eggs every night while roosting

    Hello, I noticed one night a few weeks ago when putting my chickens away at night that one of my hens was acting strange and looked like it was squatting while roosting. I was a little confused and then it just layed an egg right there on the roosting stand. She had laid a shell less rubber egg...

    Egg without bloom?

    I added four hens to my backyard coop. I am not sure of their breed. The farmer said they were a hybrid and they are docile. They are about 1 year. We are offering organic layer feed. We were told they may not lay for a few days due to stress, however we have gotten a few eggs. The eggs appear...

    Oddball egg shaped quandary lol

    So I’ve had some odd shapes, footballs and duck farts. Caulky ones, crusty ones and soft shelled ones. But I’ve only had a few of these with the Dairy Queen top. I’m not overly concerned however I lost my lovely Cayuga who did develop a reproductive problem. I’m somewhat familiar with their...

    Pulled a membrane from vent

    I went to check for eggs and disturbed my barred rock. When she was done I noticed a stringy thing hanging from her vent and she was struggling to get it out so I put on a glove and helped her. Yesterday she laid an egg with a thin shell and blood inside not just a speck but streaks throughout...

    Thin-shelled, pale eggs

    Hello, I’m hoping to get some insight on my small flock. I have 3 birds (5yo, 2yo, 2yo) that have been contained in a covered run for months due to HPAI risk in Massachusetts. We lost a 4th (2yo) in October to a hawk and recently euthanized a 5th (5yo) due to an abdominal mass. The remaining...
