Strange Egg with whiteish sac around it? *picture included*

[Wooden_Pony]

My EE that lays blue eggs laid a soft shelled egg one day then the next day she laid this one!

Not really what yours laid but still odd.

I chalked it up to her being a new layer. I have not had any odd eggs since from her.

Is your's a new layer too?

I too, had a 7 month old hen lay the same thing. I almost looked like the duct came out with the egg. I have no idea which one did this but they are all still alive.

No, shes not a new layer. Shes been laying for 7 months now? In the past 7 months, shes been a great layer!

ANd wow.. that IS a strange egg!! Looks lilke a gourd!

All of the girls seem to be laying slowly right now and I wonder if it has something to do with lighting.

I am going to go get more oystershell today... how should I offer the oyster shell? Should I sprinkle it all around the run?

Thanks so much
Darlene

Mine have access to oyster shells 24/7. They only eat them when they need them. I sprinkle them on the run floor and I also have a dog dish full of the shells in the run too.

I got another one of these eggs this past weekend. It was laid on the coop floor instead of in the nest boxes. I'm still unsure which easter egger pullet is laying them.

I too have gotten an egg encased in some kind of membrane. I have no idea which hen was the culprit. I currently have 10 , 7 month old, Barred Rocks, New Hampshire Reds and get 5-7 eggs per day.

My Easter Eggers are approximately 7 months old and just started laying in March. I still have the egg, so I'll get a picture of it tonight.

I'm wondering if your hen might have a problem with internal laying/egg perotonitis? Has she ever had upper respiratory problems?
