Chooks Aloud Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Well, I cracked the funny looking egg last night thinking that I would give it to the chooks for their tea, but it had no yellow yolk, only a small white sack. Decided against giving it for their tea and chucked it. What could have caused this? Never had it before and subsequent eggs have been okay.

Kathy C Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Is one off colour, or about to start moulting? Maybe she needs the extra protein for herself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 These kind of eggs are quite normal. They happen when a piece of yolkless albumen (or sometimes other matter) breaks away from the normal 'egg', becomes encased in a shell and subsequently laid. They've had some strange names over the years too I think, 'Wind eggs' is one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chooks Aloud Posted July 19, 2007 Author Share Posted July 19, 2007 No, she's not off colour nor moulting. I'll look up 'wind eggs'. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
