Ok all,
This is kind of freaky, and also may shed some light on my EE's Very Sporatic egg production lately.
As some of you had read in my last thread, https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=542570 ,
My EE's have not been regular in their egg production.
Then I had posted that they apparently got their stuff back in order, and we had collected a very odd shaped egg from one of them.
I described it as a "fat green torpedo" .
This morning, while cracking eggs for breakfast, my wife cracked that "torpedo" egg.
here is a link to a video, of what she found inside...
I hope the video worked for you all there, but here is also some regular pics...
So has anyone here ever seen a TRIPLE egg in egg in egg ???
and what do you think would cause this ?
is it a calcium deficency (sp?),
I also seem to remember reading that in the hotter summer days, the hens can lose calcium through panting ? is this correct?
Thanks for any thoughts, or experienced replies.
