Thank you for your thoughts, but my chicken is only 25 wks. old and hasn't ever molted. I think this must be her egg. It was pretty strange.

I have to admit it is the weirdiest egg..or eggs i have seen. Do you have a picture of the suspected layer?

 

[chickenfanatic]

wow i have raised chickens all of my life and never i repeat never seen anything close to that abomination hahahaha whoa u should preserve that oddity can u imagine what the hen that laid it thought when she saw what just came from her hind end. hahaha

Wow that is an oddity. Are they getting enough calcium in their diet? Minerals and so forth?

I remember reading in the forums awhile back about shell less eggs and some causes and fixes. Maybe do a search... Good luck with the girl.

They do get plenty of calcium and minerals. They are on Purina Layena, get oyster shell offered freely, and free range all day long. My layers eggshells are so hard that sometimes they are next to impossible to crack. For some reason this is how all of my chickens start out laying. They have always laid shell-less eggs at first, then eggs with shells so hard it's hard to crack them. I guess that could be where they were all so sick this past summer. I wasn't shocked with the shell-less-ness of the egg, it was the double connected thing that I found weird! Thanks for the suggestions though.

chickenfanatic - No! I can't imagine what she thought when she saw that egg/eggs. It was probably somewhere between relief and

!

I think your chickens aren't getting enough calcium.

WOW! THAT'S ONE STRANGE EGG!!!!!

Or mayeb it's just because the hen that layed it is so young.(is that her first egg?)

Nope! Calcium isn't an issue here. They are fed well and they free range all day. I do believe this was a first egg from one of my Golden Comets. Poor girl...
