?????? eggs ???????

whilst clening the loft i checked eggs and saw that a 09 bird had one egg bigger than the other
they are both fertile is it normal

yes phil often happens not a problem

cheers ian just seem wierd thats all

youll find a lot of weird things in pigeon racing

I can remember a young hen of mine laying an egg the size of a blackbirds egg it was tiny, didnt hatch though.

could it have been because she was young and not developed properly martyn, i once had a young hen lay something strange which was just like jelly stuff with a strange shell type thing on it....?

1 of my young hens had same 20 years ago David

i,ve had that as well ,ive forgot what causes it but i will try and find out

I think I mentioned a while back that a hen a yearling laid an egg on the perch with no shell, perfect but no shell. Somone said give the birds grit and minerals as they are lacking. Well I can tell you thats rubbish my birds get fresh grit and minerals every day plus calcium so that wasnt the problem. Thing is I just think that happens sometimes, you dont always need a reason for it and it doesnt mean there is a problem. she laid fine when paired up 2 loverly eggs.

too true martyn totally agree some things happen from time to time

yes martyn i agree, it doesnt mean there is anything wrong with the bird........as you say the next eggs would/could be normal, maybe its just one of these things that seem to hapen with young hens ?
