About 2 months ago I had an older hen who laid a lash egg. Took her to the vet & got meds. She's good now & laying normal eggs. Prior to this she always laid eggs with very thin shells that often broke in the nesting box. I assumed she just had a reproductive issue.
I recently had a younger hen lay a lash egg. I just got her meds and started those so she's not yet restarted laying. Previously her eggs all came out rough, with too much calcium.
I have another older hen who's recently been laying odd shapes eggs, but no lash egg. Last fall her eggs were normal size and shape. They are long and the pointed end is wrinkled.
I'm wondering if this hen might also have an infection that's causing unusual shaped eggs. Has anyone else seen this before?
