Jane 20 Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Henrietta our GN has just taken to laying very long eggs. She was broody a week or so back - but the arrival of our new girls soon stopped that! she started to lay again shortly after, but not everyday as usual and now we have had three very long eggs? Anyone else experienced this? Also our MP Olivia has now stopped laying. Things seem to have settled down with the new girls apart from the egg situation could it all be linked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen & co. Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Daisy laid a very torpedo shaped egg today, after not laying since last wednesday I'll take a photo of it for you, I'm sure it's just a blip they go through after taking a rest for a while Karen x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abbey Road Girl Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 A torpedo-shaped egg was the first egg produced by one of mine. It had a "waist" in the middle as though the hen began to produce the one and then had a second thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phosphorus Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Alice occasionally lays a torpedo long egg - it usually means in her case that it is a double yolker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
