paul_f Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 I just opened up our Eglu and found this along with a normal egg from our other hen. You can click on the photo for a larger version. This hen has seemed to be broody, so I wonder if she has been egg bound? Or has anyone got any other suggestions. Thanks Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Looks like a lash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunaKiw1 Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Def a lash. Do a 'search' on the forum (it may be in FAQs about eggs even) as there's a great thread about lashes and loads of pictures. We had one recently that we'd never seen before and were greatly reassured by reading the thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickychick Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 when checking all my girls had gone to bed just before shutting the pop hole yesterday, I found a freaky freaky lash next to a really soft egg shell and the girls pecking at spilled yolk. Quickly removed it all from their bedroom area but would just like to say thanks to everyone who posted pix of lashes as it enabled me to not be too scared/freaked/worried which I would inevitably have been without pre-warning. Cheers everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sari Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 The "lash" post with piccies is really useful, as I've showed it to my daughters, as they've already sorted out an egg collecting rota, and wouldn't have wanted one of them to find one unprepared. As per usual, totally unimpressed. " I thought you said it was gross, mum" was the comment I got. I am pretty strong stomached ex-nurse, so they are too. But great all the same....
