Hi everyone, I recently added a rescue hen to my flock. I only have 1 rooster and 7 hens (including the rescue). In the last few weeks I noticed some eggs randomly breaking. These are fresh eggs, collected daily. No noticeable cracks, looks perfectly healthy.
Today, I gathered the eggs, popped them in a carton my husband walked by and watched it explode! The eggs smell normal.
In many years of chicken keeping I've never seen this.
Is this some sign of disease? Appears to be affecting the whole flock.
 
I have not heard of this. I know in incubated eggs bacteria is the cause. Wonder if bacteria in the hens system could be passed to the egg????
