do you brood 3-legged alien vent probed chicks? Can they get out of the shell by themselves or is it like in alien and the mom drools acid on the shell. Personally I am concerened by this development...

Looks rather like some lice eggs I saw a pic of earlier. Don't know if they would lay on an egg though. Perhaps mites.

That isn't calcium deposits; it's some sort of insect eggs.

Moth eggs!!!

I get the same one's on my window at the house, and on the leaves of my hibiscus. Just a generic white moth finding a warm spot to hatch them.

Those look exactly like the eggs I watch moths deposit on our house. They harden into little uncrushable pebbles that you can scrape off if you wish. How odd that one would lay on a chicken egg . . .

From what I have seen in science books and stuff. That very much looks like some eggs from some insects. I wouldn't eat that. I would boil the whole egg to make sure that everything is "dead" and then just throw it away. It might spred and all that.

It looks like either lice or mite eggs. i would check you hens over.

I agree with the egg belief. What type of egg? I don't know. I guess to be safe I would totally clean the coop and dust the girls.

SevinDust is Magic! I would highly recommend that if those are possible mite eggs. Mites are just SUCH a pest aren't they? Well, good luck and hope all is well : )

Those sure look like moth eggs. I hatched out a Polyphemus moth (wingspan between 4-6 inches) and she laid eggs that looked just like those. I shared the eggs with some other people and we were able to watch the life cycle from caterpillar to coccoon to moth.
