Lizzie Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Morning all Olive will be 1 year in August and lays beautiful brown speckaldy type eggs every day (she is a cuckoo maran) However, the last few days, her egg shell seems a bit rougher than normal and at the bottom it looks like a stain - similar to perhaps a mark if oil has seeped out and leaves a darker area at the end of the egg. She is eating and drinking and not mopey at all. Any ideas what this could be ? Is she lacking in something ? They have poultry spice in their food, ACV or citridical in their water, limestone flour and cod liver oil at intervals plus access to grass daily to graze. Any advice would be greatly received Regards Liz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Might it be a blemish caused by irregular calicum deposits? If it is OK inside I wouldn't worry too much. Of couse ensure that she is up to date with worming (Flubenvet). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 My FCB maran lays dark speckled eggs and they are often 'stained' too, always at the blunt end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
