pekinpotty Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 hi one of my girls layed this egg today. i think it is from emma who went broody back last july. is all the excess round the end calcium? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moochoo Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 You quite often get these wierd eggs with extra calcium deposits just after they've been off lay for a while. For some reason the shells are quite weak and they often break. As long as they've got access to grit the next eggs are perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pekinpotty Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 thanks they've had mixed grit for a couple of weeks now rather than just flint grit. i just need to find them before they peck them now she's started laying again.
