    Shell-less egg - no membrane. Do we need to check for stuck membrane?

    Hello, We've got a 3 year old Orpington who is very small compared to the other girls and lowest on the chicken hierarchy. She's had about 3 months of laying shell-less eggs every 2 weeks. But normal-ish eggs the rest of the time (a bit thinner with some calcium deposits). It seemed cyclical...

    15-week old chicken laid egg

    Hi, I am concerned on my 15-week old chicken as today she laid her first egg(of course shell-less), should i start giving her layer feed? As i am concerned she is still young then she might become malnourished due to the early egg laying.

    Why has my Easter Egger started laying only yolks?

    I hope someone can help me figure out why one of my chickens (12 months old) has started to lay eggs that appear to be only yolks with no whites or shell. I first noticed what I thought was simply the remains of what had been a broken egg about a week ago so cleaned it up and didn't think much...

    Very odd shellless eggs

    I have a 21-week-old splash pullet. We just found out she is the one that has been laying shellless eggs out in the yard. We couldn't figure out which one it was because by the time we noticed something was going on it was pretty much eaten by her henmates. The other girls now expect it and as...

    Any ideas what this is?

    One of my isa brown rescue hens has been laying shell-less eggs. Usually I'd give her calcium but she is taking antibiotics at the moment as she's been a little flat. This morning I found a shell-less egg with this small meaty ball in it. The ball is about 10mm x 7mm - quite small and firm...

    HELP: shell-less eggs, broken soft shell (in vent), white and foamy diarrhea.

    Hey Friends, I don't have much more to add outside of the title besides the fact that my sweet Spam is clearly not feeling too well and is lethargic. I've found a few odd bits of soft shell that someone had clearly passed in the coop, though I wasn't sure who. Then I found or or two signs that...

    Laying only yolks with a “tail”?

    My pullets are 6-7months old. I’m not sure who laid these, but there were two right next to each other this am. Looks like just yolks (milky though), in a thick membrane and both have an extension, tube or tail coming off. Anyone ever seen this? And is it concerning? All chickens appear to be...

    Long time to be Broody or other issue? Help please

    We have a hen that is a year and a half old. For the last few months she has been what some describe as broody and not laying consistently. If she lays an egg it's either shell-less or soft and even less often a good shell. She is missing the feathers on her belly, with the obvious irritation...
