As sure as eggs is eggs

Or not, in our case. There hasn't been much certainty on the egg front round our place recently.

Some days we get three perfect eggs. But with two broody bantams at the moment, those days are very rare.



And then we got this strange, shell-less egg a few weeks ago. The grey chicken laid it and then promptly laid the other, more normal but slightly gritty egg next to it.



The hens get enough oyster grit and peck around the garden too so they shouldn't have any problems producing eggshells. And the hen seems fine. Apparently, it just happens sometimes. Luckily there haven't been any more since.
