We have raised chickens for 25 yrs. We only have 4 or 5 just to have eggs enough for our family! All our chickens are part of our family farm and we let them live out their lives. We have 3 right now unfortunately a raccoon got one last month. In the past 2 weeks one of the chickens has laid the strangest looking eggs I have ever seen...they have rough lines going around the circumference and the entire shell is really rough to the touch! I just joined the site and have not figured out how to down load a picture yet! I will do that when I have a bit more time! Anyone have any thoughts about this unusual situation? There are 2 really unusual eggs the color is about the same but the heavy ridges and wavy grooves concern me! I'm worried that maybe she has a partial egg stuck in the uterus...and that may cause the strange lines and grooves on these other eggs! Thank you for any information, Sydonia
