Funky egg 2

So this is not poop... it is hard but on the outer part of the shell. Not sure what is up with my chickens. Would this be okay to incubate?

I would not incubate it. Are you feeding a layer ration? Do you have a separate bowl of oyster shells for the calcium needs? It looks like your hen is getting too much calcium or not enough.

I haven't done any oyster shells. They are on egg laying crumble

Get oyster shell. Even with egg laying pellets/crumble they'll still need oyster shell. I don't have the link but there's an egg chart that says what's wrong with the egg. I'll post the link if I find it.

It's just an anomaly, a glitch......unless it keeps happening.
You'll see all sorts of odd eggs once in awhile.
Not a good idea to incubate odd eggs.

Okay. Getting oyster shells today cause also had another rubber egg. Must be an issue with calcium.

Shell less eggs are usually from stress. Oyster shells should always be available.

I had been trying to get them to understand the new coop is their home, so they had been in there a couple of days, wonder if that stressed them out

Incubate it and see how it turns out! I want to see the end result, the little guy in there might be a champion show rooster..... and unless you incubate it, you will never know!
