CHICK EGG? or snake egg?

[redroosta]

well I have been keeping some chicks a few months old and are in the adolescent stage of their growth. today I found a brown leathery egg that when I opened there was no yolk. I remembered when I kept ducks that they would lay very small eggs and then they would have no yolk inside. it had like a rubbery shell.. was this an early egg from a chick or was it a snake egg?

It could be one of the chickens starting to lay.

How big & what size? Snakes probably would not go into your coop & into the nest box and then lay a single egg. They usually lay many at a time.

Yeh, thats a chicken egg. A friend of ours had the same problem. I totally agree they wouldn't lay in the chickens nest box and they lay more than one.
Hope it helped!

snake eggs are white. They would not lay a single one, as has been said.

Put it in the bator and find out.

Sorry, that would be so freaky to have a snake hatch in your bator when you expect chicks.

The chicks are too young too be laying eggs, but it might possibly be just a fluke.

P.s. I found it on the floor, not the nest box.

I thought snake eggs were more oblong.
