Squawk Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 My Black Star has been laying small wind eggs (no yolk) for the past couple of weeks. She is about 8 months old and she used to lay a medium/large egg nearly every day. My other chickens are fine so I dont think its related to their food - does anyone have any ideas/advice?

Ain't Nobody Here Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I get wind eggs from Maisie fairly often. I've no idea why. She doesn't even lay proper eggs inbetween though . She's about 2 1/2 and used to be a great layer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Is she a bit overweight? I seem to remember that fat hens are more prone to laying these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squawk Posted November 24, 2009 Author Share Posted November 24, 2009 She is bigger and heavier than my other chickens but I thought that was due to her breed. Do you know what the ideal weight is for a chicken? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Somewhere around the 7lb mark for this type of hen. Ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fur 'n' Feathers Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Wow!!! Eggs without yolks. This could be a way I could finally be able to eat them... (or should I risk it ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
