I got it out of the hen box a few days after I seperated the sexes.

Way deficient in calcium.
I've seen it a couple times in an older hen. Calcium gluconate in the water along with grit and oyster shell should do wonders.

Think it came out of a real young hen. I broke them up because of all the hanky panky going on. It isn`t from a breeder it came out of a kit box.

Kenny, Cut back on the feed. Hanky panky hens and eggs in the kit boxes are a good very indicator of overfeeding. It's amazing how little feed a kit of hens actually need! Give them 5 minutes max. then take the balance away in warm weather. Otis

I cut them back til the were all coming in wings up.Started getting thin and I still had eggs. So rather than starve them to death,I just split the sexes.
I called a more knowledgable fancier he said it was just spring and just watch them close or split them up.
I have taken a liking to this arrangement so far. The cocks are rolling really well. I have 13 of them, thinking FF 11 bird once they gel and really get after it.
I am coming to the conclusion,take whatcha got in front of you idiot.

Birdman,
It felt really weird.Kinda smooshy and jelly like. Similar to a water baloon.The membrane was pretty tough surprisingly. The dog made a weird face when she popped it in her mouth. LOL
BTW breeders have oyster shell in front at all times.

Weird aint it?
Here is an egg that an older hen laid that was unusual. It is the smaller one, while the other is a normal pigeon egg.

Makes me want to feed more grit to the birds after seeing those eggs.
