It was. I fed it to the dogs.
One of the other reasons for the calcium infusion 2 days ago. I forgot to do it today so I'll get them in the morning.
But that's not the first egg I've had a hole poked in. Either she's got good aim for slightly defective shells or she's putting too much pressure on the eggs with those spurs.
Here's one from yesterday. Different hen laid this.

Have you ruled out the other reasons for thin shells besides calcium?

Tomorrow the wall comes down for the last step of chick integration. Should be interesting.

Let us know how it goes! Sending positive waves.

I only have one that is laying thin or shell-less eggs. Una has always laid a thinner shelled egg but had never had a problem with breakage.

Good morning everyone!

Coffee is freshly brewed, so grab a mug and enjoy!

It is still raining incessantly and it's really getting old...

At least the chicks love their lukewarm chick-tea and seem healthy and vigorous despite the bad weather. They will be three weeks old on Sunday and will have to get their leg bands changed to the next size.
Sunday is also hatching day for my broody Wyandotte, so fingers crossed that all will come out well and healthy.

Good morning Cafe. Thanks for the coffee, LF.
We had some pretty strong thunderstorms last night. No damage up here from what I can see. Today is supposed to be sunny and not as warm as yesterday.

Will take some, at least from Dotti and her chicks in the coop.

Trying to take some from the bigger chicks will only end up showing lots of grey and rain.

But the weather forecast predicts some sunshine for this upcoming weekend, so who knows, maybe they did not lie this time?

Looove the chocolate one in the middle with the dark face and cute forelock

We're saying the same about rain here.
Supposed to get more than an inch between Th night and Fr,
we need it bad.

Temps have dropped, just 50°F this morning.
Nice to have (more)clothes on again.

Broody went to roost last night, YES!

Good morning. I have added another pot of coffee.
