Chook n Boo Mum Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 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? Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 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 .

Sorry , but you managed to resize it thank you Breakfast gets eaten later in the holidays doesn't it, I was eating mine when your message dropped into my inbox !! not to be picky or anything. but where is the 20p oiece or a finger? looks little..... they are gross aren't they and with differenig textures. some meat like, some folded over & over shell! some seem to look like little blobs of fat! 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!!

Ain't Nobody Here Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 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 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandyhas3chucks Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 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.

Tiggy Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JillM Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook n Boo Mum Posted February 27, 2011 Author Share Posted February 27, 2011 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JillM Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I have a pair of flip flop style Crocs, do they count? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook n Boo Mum Posted February 28, 2011 Author Share Posted February 28, 2011 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 Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
