X4 although we have a generac generator for the house and a loud, gasoline portable generator for some equipment in the barn. Guess I can't complain! Girls will be in barn lockdown maybe tonight, definitely Sat/Sun/Mon a.m. to keep them out of mega wind chill. Haven't heard a thing from good 'ol ERCOT, but I wouldn't expect it. Stay safe!

Collected my eggs tonight and got a little surprise. One of the eggs does not appear to have a shell. The one on top is basically just the soft inner membrane.

FWIW, the flock gets a 50/50 mix of all flock and meat bird crumbles (no layer feed), and I supplement with egg shells and free feed oyster shells in its own feeder.

Anything to do here? Just chalk one up to my living 3d printers misfiring on an egg?

I get them occasionally. Nothing to worry about! If it happens more often that’s definitely a concern but the occasional mishap is ok. I like to squish them between my fingers. Oddly fun

So far so good here. Some of our neighbors were without for a few hours last night. We are still getting rain but I think there is some sleet mixed in now.

It could be weather related stress, reproductive related to illness or aging, or just a one off. I wouldn't worry unless it keeps happening. If it does you could give her a dose of calcium a couple of times a week.
