I didn't know they could eat the raw egg.....I had a silkie pullet do the same thing, and 3 days later she laid an intact double yolker. And a couple of weeks after that, she laid another double yolker egg.
My dad ended up stepping in the stray yolk, much to his confusion as we both had no idea what it was at first and I was freaking out over Peep-Peep, the cockerel, eating it!As I was cleaning it up, I realized it was yolk.
Then I found a jelly egg right besides the nestbox, and we only had one hen inside at the time so I knew it was her. I cut open the jelly egg and gave the yolk to them on the food tray, to make up for me 'stealing' the other yolk.Since it is one of their own eggs, I wasn't too concerned over giving them it raw and it would have probably burst if we tried boiling it, and so far I haven't had any egg eaters despite me also feeding them their own eggshells and boiled floater quail eggs that don't smell or look off.
I sill need to read through today posts but I found another egg in nest when I came home from work. This one has a hard shell but you can clearly see the indentation on. I took a couple of angles and the last one is next to the one I got this morning. Thoughts? View attachment 1197253 View attachment 1197254 View attachment 1197255 View attachment 1197256
Me too!!!I am so happy for you!
Sure, knowledge is power!!@onaharley , now that your hen is back on track, would you like to see a picture of what can happen when an egg is retained? It's not too graphic, and the visual will explain why I was so concerned about your duck.
That's what I was thinking too. Now that they are separated, will this aid in less egg production?Yes...my thoughts are give her time that indent ment both were close and the dented one passed later...Give it time..It will be okay..
I will be updating my egg chart, for sure!!!That's where it was touching the first egg while still in the chute and forming the shell... I would keep up on the calcium citrate and continue to monitor her closely...
No...Now that she is separated from the Drake she should calm down and produce regularly ..That's what I was thinking too. Now that they are separated, will this aid in less egg production?
I will be updating my egg chart, for sure!!!
