Good morning/evening :frow

Quick question for you all: I got one of the pullets (that are laying) laying very oblong oval eggs, what does that mean? Shells are hard, no other egg problems, just one of the two eggs I get that are always oblong and oval. Usually, I might get one every so often, but never day after day. :confused:

The egg shell gland is in that shape. It is working correctly if you get a nice hard shell so do not worry about it.

Is she a newer layer? My Brahma mix lays them, too. I don’t think it’s an issue. :idunno

I haven't come across this yet but like Kayla asked is she a new layer? Sometimes they lay strange eggs randomly the first few weeks.

She's turning one year in two months (so not really a new layer) but hasn't layed in almost three months from molting. All of them are just getting back into the swing of things.

Thanks! She is a very healthy pullet and I doubted anything was wrong- Good to know, though. :)

The only problem with torpedo shaped egg shells is figuring out which end has the air cell for incubating them!

Sometimes a chick will not be able to turn too so you have to watch for that
