maggiesfarm Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Please can anyone tell me what causes this, this is the second egg in 2 days where this has happened, a small hole in the top of the egg, definitely no sign of pecking and you can see a build up of shell around the hole. Hens are fit and healthy and about two and a half years old. http://www.hallamdojo.co.uk/egg.jpg Has this happened to anyone else ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Ok, I have had this before. What I discovered it was is this. I sometimes get eggs with little "Ooops, word censored!"bles on them,like grains of sand, & if those "Ooops, word censored!"bles get knocked or picked off,it leaves a hole. The hole is small & doesn't penetrate into the egg sac,so I just put those eggs on the rota to use up first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
