Today, in the wonderful world of, 'What The Heck???' I present to you an egg I just brought in from our coop to our kitchen. It looked like a really pale greenish-blue, but when I went to put it down, I saw where my fingers had been on it were now a lighter blue, which threw me a bit! Have you...
I went out to collect eggs this evening and found this! What is it? All my hens seem happy and healthy. Haven't been having any issues at all. Is this something to be concerned about? They are about 4 months old, lay regularly, have oyster shell, egg shell, and Purina game starter, live in pens...
Hi all! Found one of my chook eggs looking a lil weird. Almost like veins or broken capillaries? Very strange. I have one chook who struggles with getting egg bound fairly often, could this be one of hers? Or is there something else I should be looking out for? Love my girls so much I just want...
So, I have a two year-old Pekin, who laid an egg this morning and it was inside of a membrane. She is currently having issues with one of her legs, this has been ongoing for several months. The vet after several visits could not figure out why she’s having this issue, except may be neurological...
Hello. I was making brunch today and cracked open one of my Barred Rock's eggs to find this brown, solid, yet somewhat squishy (think the texture of a chicken liver) mass inside the egg.
3 of my hens (including this one) are older ladies so a little blood spot here and there doesn't bother...
Hello everyone, my baby gal is finally of age to lay eggs. She had her first egg yesterday (at time of writing this) along with something else.
The day before yesterday I noticed slight tail pumping along with slight heavy breath taking. I was worried she was egg bound or having troubles, so I...
I have one maybe two 1 year old hens who still lay tiny “pullet” eggs it’s not a big deal but anyone have any idea why

The white hen I know lays these eggs the other two are suspects
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...
Hi, just got back from picking eggs and I got this interesting one. In one spot it has three wart type things that you can easily rub off and on the bottom there is a brownish spot the brown area is kind of cracked as well. Does anybody know anything?
I found this in the coop this morning, on top of the nesting boxes. Current situation: of my 6 hens, 4 are laying. Two EE's are freeloading, but they have both squatted, although not regularly. One squats more/longer than the other. All 4 hens laid eggs yesterday, so I have no reason to believe...
My best and most favorite hen, Joy broke an egg inside of her a week ago. After some meds to keep her from getting infected it happened again. Each time slowly the yolk would drain out of her system- but today she payed an egg shell with he insides full of blood and bloody outside. What is this...
Yesterday one of my three chickens looked weak. She was sitting on the ground, didn't eat much, seemed to drink more water than normal, and she went to sleep a little earlier than the other chickens. I thought it could be an egg bound.
This morning I found a weird egg. It's the biggest I have...
THis morning when I collected the eggs, I discovered a tiny egg! I’m aware of fairy eggs but I think this one has a yolk since isn’t that small. I will update on that when I cram it open (probably to make a scrambled egg for my littles if it had a yolk, and feed the big girls the Shell)
My bantam Cochin is laying strange eggs. She is just over 1 year old.
Her eggs have been normal until recent weeks. Now she lays a large (for her) egg with blood on it and a weird seam-like crack towards the pointy end. I can feel the crack when I run my fingernail across it.
The shell is not...
Hi all, so my hens laid some weirdly shaped eggs! The second one isn't too weird to me. But the first one is WEIRD. It has shirt wrinkles and the pores are a lot more noticeable. Anyone know what it means for the hen if she lays eggs like these? Or have some similarly weird eggs to share? :p:pop
Hey y’all, one of my hens laid a weird looking egg, wanted to know if there’s something I should be concerned about like calcium excess or deficiency or an illness but or something?
We cracked open an egg that was laid yesterday and there was a thick skin around the yolk. When you broke through the skin, the regular yolk came out with a glob of blood vessels. The white of the egg seemed a little weird too, but I cracked in the pan and it fell out so quickly I couldn't quite...
My 1.25 yr old Amerucana has been laying soft eggs for the last month or so? I feed them fermented organic grains (Scratch n Peck Layer) and they have oyster shell available. This is the second time I’ve gotten an egg like this though. With the part of a second egg attached. Is it beyond just a...
