craftyhunnypie Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Hubby went to the nest in the cube and found a wierd looking pale pinky thing. God knows what it is, but it's come out of one of my girls bottoms. It's squidgy & reminds me of a hearing aid - like the pinky plastic bit that goes in the ear! I must take a photo, but what on earth is it. The hens are all as normal & very perky, so I presume its a small distorted, unfinished egg?

Egluntyne Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 It is known as a lash. Sometimes they shed the lining of the laying tackle and it looks a bit like an alien. Was it something like this? Won't post pictures directly in case you are eating, dear reader. http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g182/syddles/forumoddsnends/omlet/yuckyfront.jpg http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g182/syddles/forumoddsnends/omlet/yuckyback.jpg Whole thread about it **here** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted July 16, 2008 Author Share Posted July 16, 2008 yes it's exactly like that, but less ridged, quite smooth & a uniform shape. Is it likely to be the one that didn't lay that day? Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
