Malformed Eggs

[Nofowlplay]

No Fowl Play, that is an egg membrane from a shell-less egg that has broken inside.

Thank you.....unfortunately that conforms what I thought. Am I treating it correctly? Using antibiotic in the water.

Infectious bronchitis is caused by a virus, so no antibiotic will treat it. It runs it’s course over about a month. In some cases it can go through a flock over weeks or months without much notice. Sneezing is the most common symptom. If it is complicated by secondary bacterial infections, such MG or E.coli, then antibiotics may be helpful.

Thank you for the link. No sneezing, so I'm hoping that it is down to stress. She wasn't overnight in her normal coop so may be that was enough?

Thanks for all the replies.

Good luck!

ETA: I think yours look more wrinkled than corrugated.

Thanks for all the help/advice! My girl is doing much better! Eating, talking, tail up! And Moraylass thanks for letting me post on your thread. I was desperate and surely didn't want to hijack your post!

Never heard of it... seriously doubt it. Interesting though though.

Never heard of it either! Seems like if she was losing parts there would be more symptoms?
