Egg Mugshot

[Zachery2005]

So when i wanted to understand Chicken poop better, I found a link on BYC to a sick page that someone made with photos of Chicken poop with notes next to each photo of why this happens.

I am sick of telling my wife i dont know why an egg looks this way or that way.
Why an egg looks like a california raisin or is 4 times larger than normal..or why the shell is thick or thin.

I am looking for a site that has picks of eggs with why eggs can look non-normal.

Hi and welcome to BYC from northern Michigan

Did you try doing a Search for egg size and shape?

 

[drumstick diva]

there probably is such a thread - maybe you could search for something like "strange looking eggs"

Thanks, this is a start.. I found on BYC people posting pics but not all in one place like the poop page was.
never now I may just start collecting photos of my defected eggs to post.
