My Buff Orpington laid this one yesterday. She often lays "oddly" textured ones but this is the weirdest by far.
Are we still posting weird eggs?

Aw, in just a few weeks it'll hatch into a beautiful baby scrotum.

Lemmy see if i can find some pic i took a few years ago. Gonna edit this comment in a minute.
Here ya go. This was laid by a fully grown chicken that usually laid completely normal eggs.
Comparing against my hand this thing was something like 3.5cm long.

What's it like living with low-resolution hands?

Its very easy to cut yourself on the sharp edges but you learn to live with it.

Our latest addition to the flock has just started laying. They are sooooo cute!

One of our (Brahma) chickens lays eggs like this. She also walks with a limp.

Fingerprints... because we live in a society sadly :(

O! We have one that occasionally lays tiny eggs as well. I'm not sure which one it is because they share nesting boxes but a tiny egg shows up about once a month.

These ones were free to walk around the farm but they always returned to their own specific nest box at night :)

There is a backyard chickens sub Incase that interests.
I had an egg similar to this last week, wasn't sure why, normal before and after but just one egg.

Do you happen to have a link to the sub? Always have more time to talk about the ladies!

Speaking from experience?

Reminds me of when we took our boy cat in for neutering. The vet commented that he had a lovely set of plums on him. I said if she liked them she could have them and received an elbow in the ribs from my wife.

I cannot be convinced that that is not Silly Putty.

HATE that egg.

You spelled ate wrong.
Xanthrax@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 350d
Did they poo out two eggs at once? Whenever my chickens form two eggs at once, they smoosh together and come out like that.
clif@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 349d
No, just the one. Most of the time the eggs this one lays are a little wavy towards the tip but this one is a bit crazy.

This is what happens if you eat too much fibre.

No trans people clowning in these comments? I'm disappointed.
