What is wrong?

[Bdbutton]

So for the past 2 days my Barnevelder has been laying eggs that are looking very strange. They are very pale in color and rippled. Any ideas what might be going on? The first egg is her normal egg and the other 2 are from the last two days.

do not worry too much do they have oyster free fed ?

Is she a new layer? Be sure that she has plenty of oyster shell available.

If the shell is ripply and thin she needs calcium. I feed mine layer feed daily. I also sprinkle oyster shells in the feed about once a week and I boil eggs for them.. crunching up shell, yolk, and white together. I don't peel them.. just crunch them up. I give the eggs about once a week, as well.

Offer layer feed with OS on side.

Thank you all for your comments. I guess I better get the crushed egg and oyster shells out asap!

Fairly new layer, just started about a month ago.

This should only be temporary, until she gets her egg-laying kinks worked out. Just be sure she is getting enough calcium. Good luck!

Corrugated shell.....could be stress, diet, or disease.
How old is bird and how long has she been laying?
What all and how exactly are you feeding?
Is shell thick or thin?
Any changes in the days before this started?
