Strange Egg - 'Pic'

[Kat's Silly Chickens]

I went out to the coop at 10:30am to take my chickens scratch treat and check on morning eggs.

And What to My Wondering Eyes Should I See

, THIS

a round egg of all things.

Shell was cracked all around but inside is still intact...
Our Crazy Cochin layed it.

our one BO Bertha(our second best layer) has always laid rounder eggs than normal... A few times they were almost perfectly spherical... we call them golf ball eggs... her's also have the thickest, toughest shells... I accidentally dropped one once without it cracking...

It is just so weird to see a quarter sized round egg in the nest when all 4 of our adolescents have been laying regular large to extra large eggs. I know it was 1 of the Cochin's 'cause my Barred Rock's egg color is much lighter. My Cochins have been laying a cream colored egg on occasion also.

Happens, it will probably not have a yolk and just be whites.

I'll have to break the membrane and see. It was just so strange I had to get a pic of it and post it...

I broke the membrane and it is filled with a clear/white gel

, so you were right columbiacritter.
