Auto door randomly closing during the day

I have just received this month's (issue 60 - March) issue of Practical Poultry and have found a really interesting bit in the new Poultry Keeper's A-Z about Abnormal Eggs.

 

Just thought I'd let you all know (and no, I don't work for P P either!).

Great!!! Didn't realise March's copy was out yet.

Made my day !( easily pleased)

Thanks

Got my copy in post today too. Yes it was a good article. But more pictures would have helped. I think the "strange egg" pictures on the Omlet website link are very good too.

And also I thought the "First Things First" article about breed choice was good too.

I agree Hen Watch, this month I think was very helpful. I liked the fact that there was a consolidation of info on eggs in one place, so have now made a note of it in my chooky notebook for future reference.

 

I always look forward to getting the post at the beginning of the month as my mag always arrives usually by the 1st or 2nd. My work colleagues think I'm crazy !!!!

Sorry Sandy nothing about Lash. Here are the categories:-

Cock eggs or Wind eggs

Blood Spots

Double or multiple yolks

Sausage shaped and rounded eggs

Watery white

New-laid bad eggs

Eggs containing a foreign body

Egg within an egg

Coloured or Mottled Yolks

Pale Yolks

Shell defects

ok thanks

I suppose they are not technically an egg are they? just want to KNOW more and find zilch. Just posted link to latest lash photo with disection!

Hi Sandy - I have a really good DEFRA guide to eggs, egg defects and egg quality. I have uploaded it to my gallery as a PDF file. If you click on this link all you need to do is click on the Download file and so long as you have Acrobat reader it should be able to be opened.

 

I think the word Lash is used more often in The Fens so others may use different terminology.

 

Hope this helps

Thanks for that though still no meat balls, my vet looked and could find nothing about them either, he was very intersted to see one.(what an obliging girl to lay one the day before we were going!)

I think tht perhaps "our Egluntine" could gather all her knowledge & "do a paper" for some scientific publication and be famousd outside the forum!
