Got my first weird egg

[JennsPeeps]

Yesterday DBF woke me up by saying, "honey, come in here". Of course, I freak out and wonder who died overnight.

On the kitchen counter on a plate is a shell-less egg: just the membrane around an egg. DBF was very concerned about our girls (awww...

). Thanks to my countless hours spent on BYC, I was able to assure him that it was no biggie.

I wanted to cook and feed it back to the chickens but DBF said no way. Oh well.

Gotta love getting the weird eggs.

I'm not worried at all. It was just one of those things that was nice to have read about on BYC and know that it's a "misfire", rather than an underlying problem of some kind.​

I'd either cook it and feed it back or let the doggies enjoy it. Why waste it?

I've had a couple of funky shells, but no shell-less eggs yet.

The weird eggs come in phases for me. In the fall, when lots of girls were molting, I got many shell-less eggs. Recently I haven't had any of those, but I've had lots of itty bitty wind eggs.

I haven't had any double yolkers in many months, but I've had a few bulgy, misshapen ones.

Backyard Chickens should start an on-line museum of weird eggs!

I have had one, and holding it does increase the yuck factor.... just kind of squishy feeling,

I had one weird egg last week .... it was a jumbo egg and felt like rubber or rather jello LOL

But we cracked it and it was perfect

We hace one that lays eggs that don't harden on the narrow end but only once or twice a week. Must be a problem with the internal wiring but all are healthy.
