Yolky eggs!?

[whittychick]

This past week I've noticed yolk looking liquid on some of the eggs...does this mean a shell less? It's hard tho...my girls are molting right now too.

Ya, that is what I usually figure, somebody laid/ broke a shell less egg while in the nest box (sometimes they break the egg while it is still inside of them but don't loose the membrane till awhile later outside)... especially if they are just stopping or starting laying. If I know who is doing it I like to keep an eye on them in case they are working on egg yolk peritonitis or other problems.

Yea im keeping an eye out for things just incase, no yolky liquid today so that's good! Thanks for your input!

Or you could have an egg eater.
