weird egg

    Extremely weird egg, very concerned!!

    1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.) 2 year old Ameraucana, always been rather light but that's normal. 2) What is the behavior, exactly. Listlessness, standing around, laying strange egg, dirty butt. Acting sleepy and...

    Multiple Slab Eggs

    Hi all! My first chickens are close to 9 months old now, and one of my hens has consistently been laying slab eggs. She is usually a daily layer, but for the past 2-3 weeks she has seemed to be skipping laying on some days and then laying 2 eggs the next day. I've gotten somewhere between 6 and...

    WHAT'S UP WITH A RUBBER "EGG"??? OMG

    In all the 11 years I have had my chickens, this is a first. Nobody's laying right now because they're all molting. But today.... I get this and have no clue who laid it. Totally like a rubber egg. Cutting it open, looks like meat. WHAT IS IT???

    Weird Eggs 101: The Oddities Explained (or What’s a Fart Egg?)

    If you buy eggs from a store they are graded and those with imperfections aren’t sold. Once in a while you might see flaws in a farm egg but you probably haven’t given it a great deal of thought. Here’s the lowdown on some egg oddities. Double yolks commonly occur in new layers when yolk...

    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...

    Bumpy lumpy alien eggs

    My Gold Sex Link hen has started laying the most strange eggs. They’ve always been huge but over the last few months they’ve become really lumpy and strange looking, like the surface of the moon! The shells aren’t necessarily thin but they are fragile and almost see through. I have a mixed age...

    Pinkish membrane in my eggs?

    Hello :) I am new to raising chickens and was hoping someone could tell me if this was normal. I was washing out some eggshells to bake them and feed them back to my girls when I noticed that the membrane on the insides all had a pinkish hue when I removed them. The membrane appeared to be a...

    My Chicken Laid A Hard-Boiled Egg!!!

    Ummm, ok. Lately as we've been cracking into our eggs, some have been hard-boiled. (!!!) They don't look like regular hard-boiled eggs. The have some brown-tinged whites. (Sorry for the bad photo!!) I've already ruled out mixing up hard-boiled and fresh b/c we haven't hard-boiled our eggs in a...

    Not sure which one of my chickens laid the little itty bitty egg. I think it was her first attempt.

    First funky egg question

    My pullets JUST started laying, this is my 13th egg from 6 Isa Browns. They've all varied in size, darkness and speckles, which i expected. But this one had what looked like a spot of brown wiped off when i collected it! I took it inside, washed it, rubbing it firmly to get the dirt/manure off...

    Fed Chickens this and eggs came out weird??

    I fed my chickens this as a treat and half of their eggs had a lot of poop on them, three were very small and strange markings in three others. All in the pictures including the treat. Thanks, Shelby

    Bloody egg

    Got this egg yesterday. Blood and what appears to be some sort of intestine or lining or membrane or something on it? Should I be concerned? There was also a broken egg in the box but I don't think it's related, I just haven't collected in a couple days. Also had 2 rubbery eggs, different days...
