Amelia hadn't laid for 2 days previous to this. By the way - the shell is basically non-existent. It felt like a warmish water balloon. Ew...
So, my questions now are -
a) Should I be concerned about Amelia's health?
b) Can I eat this egg?
c) Do I even WANT to eat this egg? (At the moment - NO.)
Help!
Okay, that is even freakier than the freaky eggs I have found! I have had a few that you go to pick out of the nest and they are soft and squishy - major ewwwww factor! I always have just tossed those to the dog.

Thanks Amy! We ended up composting this one, and there hasn't been another like it since. I beefed up their calcium intake right away and that seems to have been just the thing that they needed. Either that or she's finally got the hang of this egg-laying business. ;)
ReplyDeleteWow, that is an intense egg. You actually considered eating it?? I'm glad the calcium seemed to help. I don't know about being concerned about it--she's prob fine (??) (Not a chicken expert...)
ReplyDeleteK - I didn't really WANT to eat it, trust me! I just wondered if it was technically edible. We were too grossed out by it's weirdness and composted it instead.
