Hi Guys,

 

This may seem like a strange question and I cannot find any info on the matter of miss shapen eggs.

I currently have a hen sitting on 5 eggs, 3 of wich are fertile, but my concern is that they are a strange shape, she had no issues with laying them, actually she was like clock work, 4.30 every afternoon. 2 of the fertile eggs look like they should but instead of having a nice curved smaller end, it ends in a sharp point, the third fertile egg is perfectly ROUND, it literally looks like a marble!!!!

My main concern is will the chicks be able to hatch normally?

The eggs are otherwise perfect and have developed as normal!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance

I've had a hen who's had pointy eggs before and one with very spherical eggs, all went well with their clutches

Thanks for the vote of confidence Libby, I was getting worried as the hatching date for the eggs is comming up, and I am still alittle worried at these times.
