Is this something that happens from time to time, or something unusual? I do have one hen that stopped laying about a week ago, and has definitely not been feeling well. Kind of lethargic, not eating/drinking well (but eating a lot of grass), strange droppings with yellow or green urates. So when I saw this egg today, I wondered if it could be hers. She seems to be feeling much better today, but I guess it could be a coincidence. This might not be her egg at all. Any thoughts?

looks like a hen broke a blood vecile (sp?) while making the egg I would keep a look out but would not worry it may be 1 egg in a million.

ETA very nice orage yolks you have some happy chooks

Thanks, that is good information.

Now it's just driving me crazy wondering if this egg is from my hen who stopped laying and wasn't feeling well, but suddenly seems improved today!
