Cinnamon Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Pansy,my Rhode Star is laying really odd,lumpy,mishapen potato like eggs A couple of weeks ago she was off colour & laid this amazing hooped egg - And these strange things are her latest effort (you can't really tell how lumpy they are in a photo,so I have put them next to her friend normal egg for comparison) They won't even roll down the Egg Skelter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 lol-i've never seen eggs that shape before!!! Im no expert,but its as if she's squeezing too hard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 I wonder if they are double yolkers? They've got that little "waist". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Very odd . My Maisie's are slightly torpedo-shaped (and also won't roll down the egg skelter ) but they're not that bad . (Sorry, Pansy, I'm sure they still taste delicious .) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted May 7, 2008 Author Share Posted May 7, 2008 Haven't broke one yet to see how it is inside,but we will be eating them ourselves as I don't think I could possibly put them in a box to be sold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theherd123 Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 She was obviously bored one day and decided to change her shape just to get your attention - i see it's worked! 'Spud eggs' a new line in your egg selling business - charge twice the price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted May 7, 2008 Author Share Posted May 7, 2008 (edited) Not a double yolker,but the yolk was pretty small for a Pansy egg We got another odd'un today,bless her Edited May 8, 2008 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hillfamily Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Our Babs has recently started laying eggs with a flat side handy 'cos they don't roll away when you leave them on the worktop :D.........but they don't roll down my egg skelter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfrock Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Carmen, my Daisybelle, always lays eggs shaped liked the middle one We always know which one is hers. She was also the one that was forever giving us double yolkers for the first 6 or so months of laying. When they have a 'hoop' round them I often think they have stopped mid-lay for a rest - Agatha laid one the other day with the most perfect ridge round it. I must admit I have never seen one quite like in your first photo before though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
