shell-less egg

[genabeana]

anyone ever had or heard of a chicken lay an egg without a shell?

Happens alot... search softshell egg and you will find some wicked crazy looking eggs.

One of my hens lays one every now and then.

Interesting! Thanks for the search idea

search gross egg or ugly egg and you will be surprised.

I got my first shell less egg a few days ago. I was sorta worried....but I guess it is not anything bad...I had the one and have not gotten one since.

I have had one. Did your pullets just start laying? That's perfectly normal for a beginner. They will lay some funky eggs for sure at first. Teeny tiny eggs, shell-less eggs, wrinkly eggs......I just look at them as practice eggs......nothing to worry about.

Ha Ha! Practice Eggs! I love it!

I got a few...just yolk and white, jello type egg, and tissue paper thin shell...when my girls first started laying a few weeks ago. They are fine now
