The hens are fine. The spot where it bends is like a hinge and I can see membrane in there when I peek. The shell is fragile and has cracked in a couple places where it looks like segments coming together. The very small end has bluish shell that is soft becoming membrane like material sticking out. This photo has a white napkin in the background, so I did adjust the contrast and the colors may look bluer than the real shell.
If regular blue eggs can fetch $200 for a half dozen on one of those auction sites I\'d like to get 5 more like this one to auction off and then retire!
