All chickens are acting totally normal as wellWent in the clean the coop and found this. Need to know how concerned I need be!
It was a very soft full egg almost like a snake egg after it hatchesYou will want to be sure the egg did not crack in her.
Exactly! And don’t know if that alone should be a concern if no other issues with any hensOh I get your not sure of which bird?
Thank you that is exactly what I was thinking too. Just wanted to see if any of you all way more experienced rolled had seen before! I have help coming tomorrow to help me pick up each girl and check her out and make sure her backside doesn’t seem off at all! Thank you all for your very quick responses!It could be a one time glitch. The blood could be from a broken blood vessel, a large blood spot in the egg, etc. I would look at each bird, make sure none of them have anything obvious around the vent, no swelling, discharge, blood, etc. Soft shelled eggs can be really hard to pass, she could have been straining. If you can't find anything obvious, then I would just keep an eye on them all, make sure no one looks off or sick for the next few days, see if any have any laying issues again. It would be good if you could ID the bird, then you could monitor and administer some calcium if she repeats a soft egg. Age of the bird could matter too. If it's a new layer, then it could just be a glitch.
A softshelled egg is kinda like a reptile egg on the outside.It was a very soft full egg almost like a snake egg after it hatches
Then I wouldn't worry too much, just keep an eye out.All chickens are acting totally normal as well
