Look At This Egg!!!!

I went out this morning to gather eggs, and found this egg under the roost.

I have a quarter beside it for comparison. Might this have been the last egg for one of my "girls"?

Oh, I forgot, it is real rubbery.

Where is it? Please don't tell me I accidentally blocked it.....

 

[faykokoWV]

ok its there now.

Are they getting enough calcium? Looks like a fart egg and a leather egg combined.

Cute! Strange, too.

When you say "rubbery" - do you mean soft, without a shell? This happens sometimes, usually when there is a a calcium deficiency in the diet.

Yes, it is soft, without a shell. But look at the size! It's only a little bit bigger than a quarter. I have all standard hens.

Happens from time to time. Called a fart egg or if you are delicate, a wind egg.
I wouldn't worry unless you start getting them or shell-less eggs regularly.
