emchook Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 I found a large egg today that was fine [ nice and hard ] but had wavy wrinkles at the top [ similar to Egluntynes post "What on earth ?"] My hybrids are only a year old .. but the egg quality does seem to have deteriorated quite a bit. I get thin shells, very large eggs that are watery and just put me off using them and now the wrinkly .. I think it may just be the one chicken as they are not daily issues. Is this age related ?? Or is it seasonal ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Could be a bit of both. If they've just come back into lay after a rest over the winter, then it might be just because they're getting back into the swing of things, but more likely (in my opinion) it's because they're getting a bit older. I got large eggs, wrinkly eggs, eggs with lumpy shells etc as my Gingernuts got older. They still taste fine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emchook Posted March 3, 2010 Author Share Posted March 3, 2010 crikey - they are only just 1 years old ... pure breeds next for me I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
