I got a shell-less egg yesterday. I found it on top on the brooder roof inside the coop. I have several girls laying now, but they use their nest boxes. Well....the silkies use a different one then the rest cause its on the floor. The rest of the girls use 2 of the 3 boxes on the wall (nobody like box #3
) but all in boxes! I got 2 eggs from a new layer this past week....but in the box!
I have 2 other girls who are about ready to start laying and they both hang out on top of the brooder. I found the shell-less egg in the poo pile on top of the brooder. So.....is it safe to assume it was one of these 2 who laid it? I'm thinking maybe she thought she had to poo since she's never laid an egg before?
