Fermerswife Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Hi everyone, this is my first post here so nice to meet you all! Am looking forward to the chat! Basically I was wondering if anyone could advise me 're a really odd textured egg one of my hens is laying?! We got two POL birds (a red rock and a bluebell) 3/4 weeks ago and after about a week they started laying which was fab! One of the main reasons we got them was that we eat a lot of poached eggs. Well one of them (the red rock) is laying the most horribly textured eggs, the white is almost gritty and more like the texture a fully cooked yolk would be - I just cannot eat them. So I was wondering has anyone experienced this? Is she lacking in something which is causing this or will it pass or is it just the way she is? Thank you!

sarkymite Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 What are you feeding them? Do they have access to get? I guess it may be just because she's not got into the swing of things as yet. It certainly doesn't sound like a normal egg production. Other than just that she's still really young, I don't know... will wait for someone more experiences to come along!

percy049 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Reiterating Sarkymite, what are you feeding them? And it may be just as she's getting used to laying eggs Are the egg shells soft or hard/firm? Is it just the appearance thats putting you off?
