xenacathy Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Hi Over the past couple of days a couple of my three chickens have been laying eggs with strange swirly ridges around them. Nothing in their diet has changed. They are on a diet of a complete layers mash food which contains the grit etc. They are ex-batts, rescued 3 weeks ago. Any ideas? Many, many thanks. Other than that, they are very happy hens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftyhunnypie Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Maggie may one of my black rocks eggs have ripples - never a uniform egg shape. Nothing to worry about it's just that they get disturbed halfway through laying an egg & it's the way their vent pulses & pushes the egg out. Egg shells aren't totally hard when being laid - they harden off on contact with the air once laid. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
