egg abnormalities

Hi chicken folks My Easter egger laid her first egg of the season and it was extremely bloody inside. The whole white was dark red and there was a large gooey red lump in it as shown in the image. The egg itself was oddly shaped, oblong, and had a streak of different color on the shell. I've...

PLEASE READ I AM DESPERATE: Penny is a young healthy chicken full of personality we’re in the middle of winter so I know she’s not overheating I’m worried she’s hurt her poor little wing badly I’m taking her to vet tomorrow since it’s night now her only symptoms are fatigue closing of the eyes...

Hi everyone, I’m a bit alarmed because this morning my leghorn hen laid an egg but it seemed to be missing some shell. In the past few weeks she has also laid eggs which looked a little cracked but I thought it was because I might’ve accidentally bumped them or something. She gets a diet of...

What is this weird white spot? Chickens are 7 months just started laying in August. First time I've seen this.... No roo.

I know yolks have white dots to show fertility but a couple of our recent eggs have multiple spots on them and they seem surrounded by dark orange and white? I can’t find ANYTHING online about this and it’s turning me off of my eggs 😂 Someone please help!

Hi friends -- We have four laying hens, about 1.5 yrs old, sleeping in a coop about 64 sq ft total, and roaming in a run that's probably about 75x20 ft during the day, with two nesting boxes. They have free access to Purina layer pellets as well as crushed oyster shell in a separate dish at all...

I have a flock of approximately 1yr old layers. They’ve been good producers and are on a 16% layer along with calcium supplement available. About 4 months ago one started laying a soft shell under the roosting bar about once a week and about once a month there is a strange spiral shaped...

Hello everyone, I'm seeking advice what to do with my sick hen. She's an 18 month old rescue hen (Lohmann brown) and such a sweet girl, I really don't want to lose her. It all started 2 days ago when she stood all lethargic and I noticed a soft egg hanging from her butt. I gently pulled it out...

Hello My 7 month old Silkie started laying last month, I’m not sure if she began laying too young. She laid an egg last night and was fine this morning she was fluffed up and it looked like her breathing was laboured with her tail up and down, she wouldn’t eat and her crop had not fully...

All of my chickens just started laying their eggs. Today one of the eggs had some white stuff on it. Wonder what it is. Was thinking maybe a little crack on the egg made egg white come out or something? All insights are welcome. Hope anyone reading this is having a good day with their own flock...

I've ordered calcuim, and got some aqua mox recommended from someone on here and I'm waiting for some dewormer. All should take a day or two to arrive. But I'm really worried about my chicken. Updated my other post on disease/illness but thought maybe I can see what you guys think about her...

I have been seeing a soft shell egg many days when collecting my eggs. I've started to pin down who is laying them and I believe it is one of my buff orphingtons. All the other hens are laying normal eggs. They are on layer feed and there is a bowl of oyster shell in the coop. What can I do?

I got an incubator to hatch out my Jersey Giant eggs. First time using an incubator. Out of 11 eggs 6 seem to not be doing anything (maybe infertile). 4 we’re developing then all the blood vessels seemed to detach and pool in the same spot. And one is maybe coming along properly. I have pictures...

Hatched a day early due to excessive heat. Outside broody hen birth. 1 born 2 days early was dead before I found it.

Hey all, I got a strange egg today from one of my chickens. She’s a two year old isa brown (or that’s what I was told). She normally lays very big dark brown eggs. Her feathers have been a little “molt-ish lately”, wondering if this could be a disease, calcium deficiency or what? I looked at...

We went to collect our eggs today and got two misshapen eggs. I did some research and they seem to be “checks”. I don’t really see my girls fighting with each other or anything so I’m wondering if this can be caused by the heat? We are having a small drought and it’s been 90° almost every day...

Cracked one of our newest pullets egg this morning. The egg had two yolks. The one on the left appeared normal but the one on the right had a different appearance I’ve never seen before. Any ideas? Is it safe to eat? She has only been laying for maybe two weeks.

I have 5 hens and 2 have started actively laying. I found a third egg in the coop today though that was really small, a little pointier, lighter in color, and kind of translucent with this tiny dots all over it. I know first eggs can be funky looking but I just wanted to make sure this didn’t...

While collecting eggs, I found this egg that has a weird abundance of bug egg(?) looking stuff on it. The egg was rotten anyways so I didn’t mind throwing it away but it was pretty gross. Just out of curiosity, anyone know what it is? Image below (it’s kinda nasty)
