...one of my pullets laid a rubber egg today.
Ba-dum-bum, ching!
Sorry! I'm sure that one's been used here before, but, I couldn't resist.
I know about the oyster shell, calcium connection. I think it the feed/scratch/treats/grit is fine, and was due to stress as we just acquired all of our chickens this past week. And, my dogs snooping around the new arrivals didn't help things!
I was watching the flock in their enclosure when I noticed one of the hens carrying an egg around in her beak. I thought I was seeing things!
Just as I noticed it, most of the other girls rushed her and the soft egg was quickly and voraciously consumed by about 6-7 of them.
Bizarre...
