strange eggs...wrinkled and oblong

[0die]

eggs number 4 was very wrinkly...and unknown who is laying it.

the mystery bird in the above linked post was discovered in a nesting box this weekend so I will assume it's a hen.

anyway, all the strange eggs were mashed up shell and all scrambled and fed back to them. They gobbled it all up.

The oblong shaped eggs had very thin shells. The same eggs when normal shaped have not had thin shells?

Apparently Infectious Bronchitis can also cause inflammation in the oviduct, leading to abnormal egg shells, including wrinkling and thin shells. If it resolves, hopefully the eggs will go back to normal, although that is not always true.

Any update ? Did your eggs go back to normal ??

yes, it ran it's course. didn't take long. the first couple were pretty weird but then just slightly wrinkly for a week, maybe two. The weird long ones only happened a couple times.
