Problem Eggs...

[MrsKemmerlin]

I have two female Muscovies, one of which is laying.. At least I think only one of them is. Regardless, in the last few days we've had some funky eggs that I was hoping someone could help me with..?

Straight out of the coop they look almost hard boiled! Some are completely solid, some are a little less solid, and some are just fine.. :/

Any ideas? Suggestions as to stop this from happening? It hasn't even gotten hot, hot here yet!

If it is just the yolks, often duck yolks are very thick and can seem nearly solid. They are raw yolk color, though, not cooked yolk color.

If eggs freeze, the whites will get cloudy and can appear nearly white.

I read on here a while back of someones chicken doing this. They cut the egg in half because it was solid, to take pictures of it. Try a sreach on it...can't remember what the thread was called or what the problem was. Good luck

Was it called a "Lash Egg"?
