The egg was a triple yolker!

OUCH! That poor hen.

The new layers have the most trouble with the plumbing. Hope she works it out quick.

That's the thing! I think it was one of my older hens who has been laying for about 4 months now...she had a lot of double yolkers when she first started laying...so I'm thinking it was her. But yeah, I don't want to see this be a regular occurrence! OUCH.

I'm too scared to open it to find out.

It is a requirement to open it so you know whether or not to file a claim.

Zack replaced them, so I'll ask if he wants me to get pics so he can file the claim. I don't think I get to.

Just my theory but I think the Cot's bloodlines are becoming so inbred that this is the reason for alot of peeps reporting double yolks and now you reporting a triple yolker!

With everyone basically getting birds from the same breeders and trading back and forth, who knows where 'their birds' actually originated and the purity of the bloodlines.

There’s probably a lot of truth in that! I hope it doesn’t become common in my birds, I know it’s indicative that things aren’t functioning as well as they should. Just lost a hen! Don’t need to lose another one :-(
