Lash egg is not an infection or disease. It is usually just an egg that stayed in too long. You can get them after the winter when they do not lay and then start up again.Ok. But so far my original question remains unanswered.
Can I eat these birds?
This was the craziest baby fight I've ever seen amongst mine. They all get along now but at the time, both wanted the same position in the pecking order lol. All the boys are in a pen together now (hubby calls it the frat house lol). At about 15 weeks old, they only have about 9 weeks until processing day.
Ditto.Lash eggs are uncommon, but not a situation that necessitates culling your flock, massive disinfection program and starting over.
It can mean that the "affected" bird is starting to approach a slow down in production, but it can also happen in younger, completely healthy birds. You may not even see it again.
Weird things just sometimes happen.
The birds are fine to eat. Think of it as a petrified egg that sat in the tube too long. It can be a sign that the hen is approaching laying problems, or it can be a fluke as she's starting laying again. No need to worry at this point.Ok. But so far my original question remains unanswered.

And the quiet. Less crowing is a good thing when you have so many males!It is hard to do sometimes but I do love the peace in the coop after getting rid of an obnoxious teenager...
