    Interesting egg question - strange shell

    One of my new hens (Buff Brahma) laid a very strange egg. It is a white shell with half of a brown shell over it. It might be her first egg, I don’t know, but the Brahma’s we have lay brown eggs…have you ever heard of this? Please see the pictures. It looks as if part of the brown shell broke...

    Isa brown egg progression

    Hi all, I have a 2.5 year old isa brown that will still lay 5 days a week. About once a week she will lay what I call a rubber egg. It will usually crack inside and she will have the white first followed by the collapsed egg shell. Is this a normal progression for her breed of bird? Also, the...

    Shell-less eggs/thin membrane?

    Hi! My hens have all been doing wonderfully, and all are now producing! The problem is that one of them, Archimedes I think (the latest to produce), has laid some unusual eggs. One was entirely shell-less, just yolk on the ground. The other three had a very soft, weak membrane instead of a...

    Should I be concerned?

    Hey y’all, I have two older hens who have slowed their egg production after I switched to grower feed to accommodate for the new, younger birds in the flock. I know this is normal, but I haven’t seen an increase after switching the food back. My younger hens are egg laying age now so we are...

    Questionable Egg

    Has anyone seen an egg like this? We have no roosters all hens and this was our first lay from this one. Still trying to figure out which hen it came from. It’s the bottom reddish brown egg.

    Twin Egg With One Yolk

    Hi, this is my first post here but I was candling my Australorp eggs today and I noticed two distinct spots on one of the eggs. They're both moving and seem fine for now but I know the chances of survival are slim. The egg isn't any bigger than the other eggs so I don't think it's a double yolk...

    Soft, broken eggshell

    My cream leg bar/leghorn, Baby, has not been herself lately. She’s been less interested in scratch, isolates herself more than usual and stopped laying about 5 weeks ago. She normally lays massive blue eggs, often with a double yolk. She went into the nesting box today for about an hour, but...

    eggs with white cast?

    Hi All, I am new to raising Coturnix quails - we just acquired 4 hens that are actively laying (~3 months old) this past Monday. They seem to be settling into their new digs okay! Today one of the hens laid an egg that has a white cast on it? It almost looks like the egg was dipped in whiteish...

    Weird egg

    I have chickens that have been laying eggs for a few weeks. I’m not exactly sure who layed this egg but I think it was my black Australorp since she’s been laying eggs under this tree. This egg was pretty small and misshapen. It was flatter on one side and it had indentations that looked like a...

    Shell-less Egg with Cartilage

    Found this odd egg in the laying box this evening. Anyone have any suggestions as to what it could be and what could be causing it? The solid bits felt like cartilage after further inspection. Newbie here but thankful for this community! - E in NC

    One of our three hens (1-Brahma, 1-Buff Orpington, 1-Red Sexlink) has been laying strang eggs sice they started laying this spring. We are in Dallas, so they started laying for the spring in Feb/March, I think. The strange eggs look longer, have blotchy coloring and always have a flat softer...

    Oddly shaped egg

    I have read through some other posts about odd shaped eggs but have not seen any that look like this. I have an 8 month old Orpington that I got about a week ago. In the past 4-5 days she has been laying eggs with this odd bulge around the middle. Her eggs always looked different from my other...

    Hen laid "egg"? Acting strange

    My 4 year old EE hen laid this "egg" after I massaged her tummy in a warm bath. I suspected a problem when she was standing oddly and acting quiet and abnormal. She wouldnt go to bed even if it was getting dark. After she seemed to poop this out she willingly went into the coop to go up to...

    Egg Quality Issues

    I’ve had some problems with egg quality in my flock recently, and am hoping someone can point me in the right direction. First, one of my ameraucanas started laying eggs with lots of calcium deposits on top a few months ago (I haven’t actually seen anyone lay, but I’m 99% sure it’s her). She’s...
