Hi,

 

Merry Christmas!

 

Our new girls both decided to lay their first eggs today - a lovely Christmas present but i, although I appreciate first eggs can be a bit different, this if The King's first - is it because it is her first egg that is a bit odd......it was very soft and it looks like all the pigment that colours the egg hasn't been absorbed (she is a Skyline)....is she ok, or should i be worried?

 

Many thanks

not sure I'd eat it because of the blood and the thin shell being damaged

Personally I wouldn't, the membrane is so thin it may well have let in bacteria. You will get more very soon , I would wait for one with a shell

Hi,

 

ooh no, i wouldn't eat it, it went into the bin after the photo was taken, i am worried about The King, hoping it is just because it is a first egg that it went a bit wrong.....does anyone know if the blue/green colouring is the pigment gone a bit wrong on the first attempt?

 

Many thanks,

K

I think looking at your photo it's just be becauce it's the first egg . I'd make sure there is plenty of oyster shell grit in through, one of my girls needs a lot more calcium than the others otherwise she lays thin or soft shelled eggs

Hopefully her laying tackle are just getting into the swing of things and so give it a week and she should be laying normal eggs

 

Well done on the egg
