Egg on a Soft Shell
Tuesday, October 04, 2011
Sometimes things just don't go right. And that's no different for chickens when it comes to egg-layin'. I went out this morning to gather up some tomatoes and eggs and that's when I found it - my first soft shelled egg! I'd read about such egg fart oddities on the Backyard Chicken forums, of course, but nothing prepared me for what it felt like when I picked it up. Think of a completely formed egg with a ziploc bag as the shell. It was all mushy and weird. I had to be careful to not break it.
I brought it in the house and sat it on the counter, fully intending to take a picture of the darn thing. Well, life happens and I got busy and didn't make it back to take the picture until just now. And guess what? The egg had collapsed in on itself and was hard as a rock!
