Clur Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I've just been out to collect the eggs, and it's my first 3 egg day (hurrah, 7 months and one of the girls has never laid!).... BUT...the third egg looks like a joke dog-poo. Seriously, you can see it's an egg, but it's coiled and solid with bumps all over it. Can anyone advise how I can attach a photo, seeing is definitely believing!!! Is it that the last of the girls is finally getting her egg-laying tackle into gear?!

Yolky Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Search 'lash' it might be that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clur Posted August 13, 2008 Author Share Posted August 13, 2008 I don't think so as it's solid not rubbery. Managed to upload a photo to the gallery, though not sure how to do it so it's visible in this post: http://club.omlet.co.uk/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=33775 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Oh my goodness, that is definitely wierd! Have you looked what's inside yet? Looks like she's passed something into the shell gland that has then been coated in a shell. Either that or someone did a very hard, dry poo in the nesting box!

Ain't Nobody Here Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Yeuch . Bet her eyes popped out of her head when she saw that coming out . (Have you got a dog? ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spratly0 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Wow poor thing, bet that was a bit of a struggle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clur Posted August 13, 2008 Author Share Posted August 13, 2008 Erm, wow! So what was inside? Just rubbery albumen - looked like calamari at first and then when I pulled it apart, it snapped went gloopy. Really yucky. I can only think it's the hen that doesn't lay, trying but not quite getting it right!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clur Posted August 19, 2008 Author Share Posted August 19, 2008 Does this work? http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=1256713&id=692899174 Or can someone tell me how to embed an image in the post? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoice Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Facebook says no I'm afraid. Try 'right clicking' on the image (Or holding ctrl and click if you have a mac) go to 'open image in new tab' or 'open image in new window'. Go to top of page (Where you type a web address and copy the long list of type that appears when viewing your image. Copy this into your message here. Has worked for me. Should be lo-res on facebook already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clur Posted August 20, 2008 Author Share Posted August 20, 2008 OMG how bizzare !!! it looks like she has been constipated bless her hope she laying normal eggs now Believe it or not, she doesn't usually lay - she's nearly a year old now and we've had one 'fart' egg and now this. I suspect she won't lay anything now after this experience Her comb is very small in comparison to my other two girls, and she has very pale 'ears'. I think she may be sterile if she's not laying yet, but we still love her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh crumbs, that says a lot about me that my first thought was it looked like dog poop! Snoopy with a suntan is much politer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
