What happened?

[mlouski]

I am a couple of weeks into being a new chicken keeper/farmer... whatever you want to call it...although i only have 3 backyard beauties. They are all pullets 18 weeks or so...two have been giving me an egg a day (10AM on the dot!) for a week. The other laid something today that I thought was just a large dropping, but looking closer it almost appears to be a softened almost dissolved shell and there is a distinct yellow yolk streaked throughout. I can't find any reference in any book about it but it has me wondering...any ideas?

It happens occasionally--make sure they have oyster shell available. However you posted this in the wrong place--it's not about laws and ordinances
