A funny thing happened... Full production resumes

OH found this in the nest box this afternoon. Sat there pretending to be an egg but seems to come from a planet elsewhere in the universe. :shock:

Is it a soft egg somehow shrivelled or some other phenomenon ?

I don't think I've seen any UFOs flying by recently so I'm assuming it may have originated from within one of the hens :?

Any ideas as what it may be ?

Oh bother, I've forgotten what it's called.

It's where they shed part of the lining of their uterus, isn't it?.

I thought that was just a tiddly bit of tissue. Didn't realise it was half their bodyweight :shock:

It's one of those days. Can't wait til it gets dark and we won't know what's happening out there

Is it what they call on the Omlet site a 'lash'?
The bad news is mine produced them and seemed to come to the end of their egg-laying days .... but I may not necessarily have matched the right chicken to the lash :?

I was thinking the same

I'll do a search treacleminer. I hope they don't stop. They're only a year old :shock:
I know it happens from time to time. But didn't quite expect this.

1 year and 2 months minus 3 days to be exact!!!! I hope they don't stop laying yet either, they've not had a full year yet!!!!!

poultrygeist · « **Reply #13 on:** November 04, 2008, 15:25 »

I knew it was a year and something

You're their mummy so you should know

Does this happen every year or so, or is it just random ??

Shoudl we expect another 5 in the near future ??

Well, Our original POL's have been laying for 1 year and 3 months, and I've never seen anything like that. Looks nasty!!!
