Help alien egg

[crazychickenladie]

can someone help identify Frizzel's egg problem. She is laying very odd looking eggs. She has laid normal eggs until about a month ago. She is about 19 months old. Her eggs sometimes are egg shaped but just membrane covering them, no shell. Sometimes her egg is round on the end with yolk in the first section and the second section is long and has the egg white in it. Followed by a membrane tail.

Pictures will help.

Eggs without shells are do to the lack of calcium. You might get oyster shells for her. She is a young layer so faux pas do happen and get sorted out naturally.

She's young, & will have glitches. She'll work out the kinks as she progresses.

Are you offering oyster shells on the side in a separate container, or feeder?

I've seen these before, it won't hurt her in the least. "I" would try feeding them their own eggs for added calcium. My neighbors do that and they're more of a farmer than I am.

My chickens rarely get oyster shells.

If she hasn't started molting she may be close to molting, and you can get weird eggs as chickens wind down from laying for the season (or when they start up again). Otherwise make sure she has a source of calcium so she can take some if she needs it.

Yes, she has oyster shells and crushed egg shells. But can't guarantee she is taking them in.

Thanks I do that too.

How long will she do this?
