Wrinkly and slab sided egg!!

Check this out!

My 10 month CQ pullet Flo laid this today! She's got bumblefoot and is in chicken recovery zone (an old dog crate) and laid this about 20 minutes ago. So weird! She's got access to oyster shell.

Thank you for that.

Your egg is slab sided, which usually occurs when multiple eggs are released into the shell gland, and as a result, one egg will appear messed up where the two made contact...

This can be caused by stress, or stress from change or disease, so the bumble foot may have triggered this in some way.

Not calcium level related.

Thank you for that.

Your egg is slab slides, which usually occurs when multiple eggs are released into the shell gland, and as a result, one egg will appear messed up where the two made contact...

Thank you so much! I didn't think it was calcium related, I just knew someone would probably ask about it.

Of course, and I understand.

I made a typo. It should have said Slab Sided and not Slab Slide. My bad! Sorry!
