Checkout Chick Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 We had a tiny egg laid today with what looks like an umbilical cord attached. We think it from our new hen Lucy who is about 20-21 weeks old as the other 3 have been laying as normal. Is this usual as we have not had anything like this before?

Egluntyne Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Just a bit of wonky membrane probably. It should settle when she gets the hang of laying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Checkout Chick Posted May 28, 2012 Author Share Posted May 28, 2012 Thanks for that. Just wanted a bit of reassurance really. We thought it probably was because she is not used to laying yet. Especially as the egg was only a little bigger than a 20 pence piece! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
