"And the ugliest egg award goes to...........!"

[Minky]

My hen Snowflake was being interrupted continuously today by another hen Little Hawk who is higher up the pecking order. She was pushed off the nest at least 4 times, and then she laid this, and made quite a ruckus when she was done!! Its even uglier in person, and doesnt not appear to be a real egg.... we will eat it tomorrow and see if in fact it is made of rubber like my kids believe!

The first pic is of Snowflakes normal eggs, which are quite pretty I think!

Sometimes wrinkled deformed eggs can be from a slight respiratory infection, especially if it continues.

Really? Ok, good to know- Ill keep an eye on her..but I hope its just from being irritable....and interrupted so many times.

Shelling takes about 20 hours, doesn't happen when they are just about to lay it.

Think about it! Eggs and potatoes at the same time, very ergonomic!
