What In The World?!?!?!?!

I haven't given up on blogging just got out of the habit.
This is Noodle, my Brahama who lays the retarded eggs. Sometimes they won't even have a shell on them and when there is one it's so thin that it breaks when you pick it up.
I was tired of the mess they always make in the nesting boxes and made a quick decision to have her culled from the flock the other day.
Chuck and Tom were butchering Tom's two meat chickens, Costco & Sams Club and on the spur of the moment I asked Chuck to take care of Noodle for me.
He did so there are no more retarded eggs and no more Noodle.
Here is what Tom found in Noodle when he cleaned her minus the egg he pulled out first. The pink spongy thing is the Ovary that produces the yolks/eggs. Eggs are produced constantly and they grow bigger as they continue down the chickens Ovum to the end. There was some white around the larger yolks and of course won't stay on with out the shell.
