Strange eggs
« on: July 25, 2010, 09:58:58 pm »

For the last 4 days I have found an egg in the nest box which is flat on one side, I think that it is one of my Bovan goldlines which is laying it, such a shame as they are lovely big brown eggs but the flat side is soft. they always have access to grit so not sure what is going on.  :chook:

Is it an older hen? We have found that our hybrids in their third year slowed down on the laying front and we got quite a few misshapen eggs. Not sure why though...
