Debbie1962 Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Hi, I just went in to clean my chucks and noticed an odd egg and a large red blob. I have checked all chickens over and can't see any problems at the back ends of any of them. They all appear fine and are running around the back garden as usual. I don't know which one laid it. They are around 2-3 years old and egg production has naturally dropped a little with age. Has anyone seen anything similar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 I didn’t want you to think everyone was ignoring you, but no - I don’t know anything about this I’m afraid. Just keep an eye on them all I guess 🤷♀️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debbie1962 Posted August 28, 2022 Author Share Posted August 28, 2022 Thank you. I generally guess that when no one answers it's usually because they don't know lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyRoo Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 I was about to say similar: I've never seen this myself, but it looks to me like the softie might have included a blood clot for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 If they are all running around happily and behaving normally then I wouldn't stress about it. Probably a one off but, if it happens again maybe send a photo through to the vet to double check? Otherwise just keeping an eggstra special eye on your flock is all that you can do.
