Siamese Eggs?

[Audry]

Our 4 newest chickens just started laying a couple weeks ago, so we've been getting the usual tiny eggs, huge eggs, double-yolkers, no-yolkers, soft eggs.... but what my husband brought in from the coop this morning is by far the strangest thing we've seen yet.

Yup. They lay some weird ones when they first start.

Geez, mine never laid any funny looking eggs, except for a soft one once or twice. That is so cool!!!

this means you are not given them shells and grit just need to head to the store and and get some and they will lay normal eggs for you thats all

No, it doesn't, it means they're just starting out. They have both oyster shell and grit. My older chickens laid soft eggs when they started laying as well, and they eventually normalized. The young ones are laying mostly hard eggs, and the soft ones always happen in the middle of the night - they're just laying them before the shell forms.

I posted the photos because I thought other chicken owners would appreciate seeing a particularly weird egg, not because I think there's a problem.

Wow... you sure see some crazy things from new layers! Is the first egg normal, then the second got dragged out a little early? Pretty neat.

WOW!!! That's one weird egg...'er I mean two weird eggs...'er...well never mind!

I'd actually call both of them shell-less, but the first one has a little bit of a coating started so it has more of a shape. the second one had a little membrane "tail" too, but my husband picked it off
