Yuck, first one of these. About 2/3 transparent shell around perfectly formed yolk and albumen. Still very warm when I removed it

Does it make the hen uncomfortable passing one of these?

There is always oyster shell grit in the coop and they do use it.

[Suechooks]

I think they get uncomfortable as it takes longer to lay.
Its worse if you put it in your pocket and forget its there!

*Wonder if the soft egg is why Madge was gnarly again* Little madam drew blood again

On the other hand, it was Maude who was stocking up on oyster shell at bedtime

Sorry, I had to change the title.

[Eco-Chic]

Sorry if it was somehow offensive

Not so much offensive, just a little horrid.

I want to know what the original title was now.
One of my oldest ex-batts doesn't lay very often but when she does it's completely without shell. It's really difficult to pick up without breaking. Just like a small water balloon. I don't know how she manages to lay it without breaking it. I rip the menbrane to open scramble it and give it back to her. Maybe that's why she does it like that.

I suspect that this may be one of the girl's first eggs. For the last eight days I've been getting two eggs a day, so I think they're all laying now.

That's a good idea Frias. I'll scramble it with Poultry Spice and they can have egg and cherry tom brunch

You have a pm btw.
