I raised them since they were two days old they're going to be 9 months they bring so much joy to my home and with me being disabled they are the sweetest things I have one that's molting she doesn't want to be touched is that normal
 
Soft shelled eggs happen sometimes. Just go through to quick. Blood eggs happen sometimes as well. I've had a couple over the years. It doesn't take much to make the white look horrid. Just a bit more than for blood/meat spots. Looks like you had both those things come together there. Is there more than one yolk in there, too?

I agree. Either they are lacking in that area, or are incredibly lacking in social graces. Why would any one purposefully puff themselves up? to make others feel inferior? So, even if they are smarter than the average Joe, they prove their lack of intellect by bragging it up.

A proverb that helps me to control my tongue: Even a fool, when he is silent, is considered wise.

Oooo. I like that proverb. I'll have to remember it.

I don't think it's to pull others down, because that's not what's happening ... it looks to me more like they're trying to pull themselves up to the level they believe will make them equal to everyone else. So, inventing a high IQ (or bragging about anything, for that matter) would be due to insecurity. Secure people don't really care what others think of them; it's inconsequential. But, the insecure think the world is constantly sizing them up and worry that they just can't "measure up". Consequently, they feel compelled to puff themselves up in front of others to impress them. I've noticed that they play the IQ card if they feel insecure around others they feel are more intelligent, and will play the "money" card (showing off material possessions?) if they feel others have more than they do. Depends on what their personal insecurity is.

It's hard to see in the photo, but it *does* look like it has an egg membrane around it without the shell. How long have they been laying? Newbies will quite often lay an egg without a shell while their bodies acclimate to the new process (I've seen it called a "fart egg"). They can lay them at other times, too.

I've always seen it recommended that grit and oyster shell be offered separately so they can supplement their diets as needed. I have one container of grit and one container of shell. Additionally, a well balanced feed is supplied daily in their feeder and they free range whenever I'm home. Are they getting feed other than cracked corn and scratch? They need a well balanced feed made especially for layers. As for the grit and shell supplements, they will eat what their bodies tell them is needed. Our job is to be sure it's available.

Good luck and keep us posted!
