OMG! - :D

 

 

I see that you were on another forum. - I read that Question and other replies a while ago!

 

I do not believe that this is true! - DIS ( dead in shell) unfertile, are what the eggs are called if they aren't hatched ....

Thunder and lighting, can not cause DIS, It though not impossible, but it is highly unlikely .....

I think it's only a myth. I haven't seen any evidence of it.

The only way you can get dead in shell babies and bad eggs is if the hen stops incubating the eggs for a longer period of time longer than her normal 20 minutes off the eggs for feeding.

So, if someone once had a hen that got scared off her nest in the night by thunder and lightening and didnt go back to keep her eggs warm...then in that case I guess it can happen. But mostly its a myth.

I heard that the thunder and lightening could possibly scared the hen, causing her to scramble round, knocking the eggs and addling them, or maybe leaving them altogether. However if she leaves them and returns without having addled the eggs, the eggs should still hatch. Thunder and lightening cannot kill the eggs itself directly.
