This morning we "lost" Peanut and found her in the nest box - where I've never seen her go before, cheeky monkey!!

 

When we got back from dropping DD at Gymnastics, she launched herself down the ladder & pootled around the WIR. I checked the NB to see if she'd been busy, or just testing the other chooks house for comfort & discovered a lash, 2 soggy membranes and a puddle of egg white .

 

From what I remember, a lash isn't anything to worry too much about, but as she's a battie is probably getting towards the end of her laying life I thought I'd just check. I've not found a lash since I first got them back at the and of January & never one this big...want a piccy?

Err, no, you're alright. I'm happy just imagining it . You're right not to worry, they seem to be fairly common and usually one-offs.

 

I bet she's glad to have got all that out of her system .

[Falkor]

OF COURSE...we want a piccy!

[sandyhas3chucks]

yes piccy, mine have not been one offs!

my old girl laid about 3 mini ones only the other day. Was once a near constant softee layer(started fine) but have not seen an egg from her ooooo since maybe October!

We get some hunching and then little like yolky(wet scambbled egg looking poohs & then she is off fine again.

Hope daily that this is ok & good newds for her.!

SO THE LASHES WERE A BIT oFA SURPRISE! SOME BITS WERE VERY SMALL! sorry key pad acting uop!)

[Chook n Boo Mum]

Sorry I didn't think to put a 20p in the nest box but the lash was about the size of my thumb.....yuk yuk yuk!!

 

I wonder why she chose the to lay this little selection as to my knowledge she hadn't laid in there before nor since

I can't take the credit for resizing it - thankfully it was already done when I opened up the thread, otherwise I probably would have lost my breakfast .

[sandyhas3chucks]

my ex bat, May 2008..... laid a lash having read this posting, didn't want to be left out!

Not laid since at least last October. laid a few farthing size ones last week, just laid a humungous one!

New vet never seen one so took for his info!

says it looks like unformed /deformed/ unfinished formed egg.

that perhaps having a clear out (like this forum says) and will come into lay in up to 6 days!

watch this space. Photo to follow!

All in the pursuit of knowledge don't you know

[JillM]

About the same size as a half penny was before they got rid of them...if that helps!

[Chook n Boo Mum]

Crikey Jill, this thread is soooooooooooooo old I wondered what I would find when I got the first Omlet notification in months drop into my inbox

 

I'd forgotten I'd even asked the wquestion, but thanks for the answer all the same

[Sageandonion]

I'm sooo glad I opened up this thread......not!

[Tiggy]

do they ever lay again after a lash, Saffy laid a lash before christmas and has been resting ever since, she is an old girl now, just wondering

[JillM]

Sorry Chook n Boo Mum, didn't mean to disturb you. That's the problems with us newbies, we like to spend ages trawling through old posts looking for anything interesting - nuggets of forgotten knowledge, perhaps. It probably won't be the last old post I resurrect, but anything chicken related is good knowledge! What was it about Crocs, anyway?

[Chook n Boo Mum]

Sorry Tiggy, I can't remember if she laid again, I think so but not sure for how long ..I do know I found the tiniest little egg in the nestbox one day which I attributed to Pea, it was about the size of a raspberry....that I think was her last egg, bless little heart

 

Crocs.........would that be the Omleteer footwear of choice, in any shade & style , personally I only have the Nadia boots in fuschia, very comfy and washable too

ooh I found a tiny little egg yesterday, Saffy seems to be OK bossing all the others about again & crouching today, so who knows

[JillM]

I have a pair of flip flop style Crocs, do they count?

[Chook n Boo Mum]

Crocs is crocs, they all count

 

Saffy sounds perfectly happy in her world, I wouldn't worry too much Tiggy Ithink they eventually deserve a retirement, so my girls all stay until the end, regardless of their laying status
