These three eggs are from the same hen. The top one is from three days ago, the middle from yesterday, and then the weird one is from today. I think my hen is sick or has something going on? She's a 1-year old sexlink and I noticed patchy spots on her rump and diarrhea. At first I thought she didn't lay yesterday because she normally lays around 6:30-7:30 in the morning and the middle egg popped out around 7:00pm last night. I only discovered it when I went out to put them away. She also lays in the coop and I found this egg on the deck by the door. I only have one other sexlink that lays the same type of egg and I collected hers yesterday morning, so I know the one I found was from the sick one. Or maybe she's molting? I got them in March last year so I think that's a possibility?

Any thoughts or ideas?

I just posted this article on your other thread. I don't know if you've seen that yet, so I'll put it here, too. It might help.
