I've never in my life seen this. I've been drug in to find a solution. Help!
Neighbor lady is having chickens lay rotten eggs. I mean VERY rotten. The kind that make you throw up and go off feed for the rest of the day, rotten. They may not be rotten at gathering time (as she can't tell there's a problem then) but withing 24-48 hours they are very bad. She can't quite tell if it is coming from her new laying pullets or her two year old hens, but believes it is both places. I'm thinking there has to be a bacterial infection of the birds. There's no other way it could get into an egg.
Yes, they are gathered daily and none are missed. Ever. I farm this gal's ground and she is super meticulous about bedding and gathering. I think she has something infecting that barn. She has a batch of turkeys and one of them has a perforated craw. Another thing I have never seen. Might be coincidence, but could be related.
I've raised lots of birds but never been this. Anyone?
