Alis girls Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 One the girls has laid an egg and the blunt end looks like a nipple - pigmented and there is a round brown ring. all intact and the girls are well. can hens get constipated as it looks like it might have got stuck? no blood on it. should I worry? Cos I do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I shouldn't worry - one of mine often lays eggs with 'warts' on - little lumps on the shell. She's getting on a bit, and I guess it's just something to do with her insides, but she is fit and feisty in all respects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I had a little spate of them,then I got thin shells,but things evened out in the end. I used them,and they were fine to eat too.....just a glitch in the shell production,I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
