Often the first eggs are misshaped, soft shelled or even shell less . She will just be taking advantage of the soft packaging. It usually takes a couple of weeks for things come good.Ok, so after figuring out that the eggs I have been finding are definitely from my BO's and especially since I've been sometimes finding two a day, I found this. It was an egg, with a very soft and pliable shell and someone had been piercing it with their beak. It had been split down one side and I found it directly under where Abigail, our Silkie pullet sleeps and not in the nesting box where I find the eggs. It is pictured here next to one of the Buff's eggs (they're still small) and from the color I'm guessing our Silkie is starting to lay, but based on the paper thin shell, is this one that she let slip early, or did she just not take advantage of the oyster shell I leave in the run? Another question would be am I going to have an egg eater after this? I suspect Major our Buff Orp. roo as the culprit, but I have no proof.
