      Does that happen? I’ve heard of double yolks but not nested eggs. This is our first year with the girls so first I’m seeing this.

      I did get an egg with no shell once, just the thin membrane. Didn’t take a picture tho.

        It can happen sometimes. Also if they got a weak/no shell then u should mix some eggshell in their food or that additive stuff that’s basically just small mineral rich rocks to help em get enough to make a proper shell.

          If feeding eggshells, it’s best to cook them in the oven a bit and then grinding them with a mortor. 250f for 10 mins should do it.

          Oyster shells work well if you can get em. Other bivalves can work too but oyster is easier for the chickens to crack apart. You just want to bake it at like 250F for 10 mins

          Here’s a few other methods. https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/feeding-your-chickens-oyster-shells.77372/

      Use a stronger egg. Put water in it. Put an egg in it. Have a baby on land, in the egg, in the egg. Baby in the water, on land, in the egg, in water, in the egg.

          I’m racking my brain trying to remember what that’s from. Was it an Oversimplified video?

      Seriously, I bet it’s a double yolk though.
