Bizarre egg- possibly a piece of intestine? Tail??

Sorry to hear about Iris' passing, if that was her egg then yes it's possible that it was a sign of something wrong internally.

Thank you, and that is what I am assuming. Necropsy isn't really necessary as no one else is sick or has any signs of internal issues as well. She was around 2 and a half and was a show quality brahma so maybe her size affected her as well.

I got another one today! No pictures unfortunately but it definitely seems like a meat spot the just gets stuck to the end of the shell. I now suspect Winnie is the culprit. She never eats any calcium supplements so I’m definitely trying to find a solution for that. Super thin shell.

To address the thin shell issue, since you know which bird is the problem bird, isolate her for a private breakfast. 2-3x a week serve a small bowl (like 1 Tbsp is fine) of wet or fermented feed with oyster shell mixed in. If she does not like chunks of oyster shell, crush it up or use the powdery remnants from bottom of the bag. Should only take her minutes to eat and after that she's free to go.

Assuming her issue is simply insufficient calcium intake, you should see results in a week or two, and you can try reducing it to 1-2x a week and should hopefully continue getting good results. If you still have the same issue, then you might need to try pills of calcium citrate instead for a faster, bigger calcium boost.
