WEIRD or ODD Eggs pics!!!! :)

After a major (110) degree ha heat wave, my girls haven't laid in 2 weeks. Today, we got 4 eggs total from our 5 hens. The speckled one is LONG and skinny and the chicken was obviously very proud of herself. She made her happy sound for probably 10 minutes afterwards!

cindy parker - I love when hens sing the egg song! It definitely is a 'happy sound".

It looks like my hen had a bite of gunpowder before laying this one! I have never seen or heard of this. Anyone else?

Has that egg been washed?
Was it freshly laid, in a nest, when the pic was taken?

I found it in the nest box with one other egg. I gather eggs twice a day, mid morning and then late afternoon. I found it the second time I gathered eggs. My RIR's lay dark eggs so I know it's one of theirs. They just started laying late May. They are 26 weeks old this week and lay around 18-20 eggs a day.

At that point it had been washed to see if the black would come off but it looks just the same

Quote: That is odd......makes me think of mold....was it just laid the day you took the pic?

I have never seen an egg like that. I'm glad you have a picture of it. Research time.
