Ok well I have two hens, and one was laying and one was not.... or so I thought. Yesterday I went out to get the egg like I do every day and I found something strange. A HUGE, Speckled egg! It is brown with white speckled dots. It was a little bigger than a normal storebought egg, and almost twice the size that she normally lays. I thought that maybe it was just a weird egg, and she would go back to laying "Normal" ones. Today I went out there again to find an almost identical one. This one has more uniform white speckles than the other, but It looks almost the same. Again, I thought It was from the laying hen. (Goldie) But then, I went out to the coop one more time, just to look around, and I found one of her "Normal" eggs in a corner, where I have never found an egg before, and it was slightly cracked. Now I think that the two huge, strange eggs might be from the other hen. Here are some pics.
This is The "strange" egg compared to a store bought one.
This is the one I found today.
This is A storebought egg (like you didn't already know)
This is the "strange" egg. See the weird coloring? Sorry if you can't, the lighting was kinda bad.
Here it is again.
And here is goldie's "Normal" egg.
Another weird thing I discovered is when you get the eggs wet, the speckles disappear until it dries. Any ideas?
