Elaine-chick Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I don't know if anyone can help me out with this one ... but here goes .... I was just cleaning the nest area of the eglu when I noticed a strange object. It is like a small oblong egg but a yellowy colour, it feels rubbery. When I've cut it open it is solid with layers inside. I cant post the photos I took as I dont seem to have the capability. My 2 new ex-bats lay every day so I dont think its from either of them. But my 2 old girls have not laid for about 5 months. Do you think that it could be an egg that has been stuck for a while ? Gert has not been herself for a while but has perked up in recent days. Any ideas anyone please ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweety Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Hi, it sounds very much like a lash. If you do a search on the forum you will find all sorts of info and photos, some of them quite gruesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elaine-chick Posted October 19, 2011 Author Share Posted October 19, 2011 Thanks very much for that ... After reading about "lash" and seeing the photos I think you are right. The one I found did look very egg like but the descriptions of some others sound exactly the same. It must have taken some time to form from the look of it though. Anyway the main thing is that all my girls are fine Once again thanks for putting my mind at rest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweety Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Glad that you have solved the mystery, and that your girls are fine. It sounds as if Gert might have been the one to produce the lash if she was off colour for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
