AJuff Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 My black rock Darcy Vader has started laying smelly eggs. I first thought that the two week old egg I opened was off so I cracked open another of hers which was also smelly. Today she laid a fresh egg but that was a bit smelly too. It's not a powerful smell just a peculiar not right sort of smell enough for me to throw it out. Is there something wrong with her that could cause this?

feemcg Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 I wonder if she's eating something unusual in the garden? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 Could you have overdone it with the garlic powder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJuff Posted November 18, 2007 Author Share Posted November 18, 2007 I do put garlic granules in with their pellets. The eggs didn't smell garlicky though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJuff Posted November 18, 2007 Author Share Posted November 18, 2007 Oh dear, not too sure what make of that. I'm a little tired this weekend, I'll read it again tomorrow. Thank for the link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 One of our original Omlet girls laid eggs that had a fishy smell and flavour. She was never quite well and unfortunately had to go to henny heaven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
