Paul, what kind of hens do you have that give small eggs?
One of our reds is giving up an egg every other day right now after molting. And she's the one that lays a huge one. As in I can hardly close a carton from "extra large" dozen on them.
Got one laying double yokers !!
2 day in a row, I'll have to get a picture. Same deal, can't close an egg carton over them !
Paul,
you have a Foghorn for them girls or are you running an estrogen only yard???
Had some double yolks when mine were youngsters too. I think they couldn't figure out how to spit out an egg frequently enough You know, they call them birdbrains for a reason, right?
I'm going to look into some banties or such next season, should I decide to keep chickens. After loosing one to a fox, another to a coyote, and having to separate another one because her sisters and the rooster no longer like her, I'm beginning to think I may just look for a source around here. The Mennonites maybe, or so hippie chick perhaps.
Good luck with yours, by next spring they should be in full blown egg a day mode.
Geno, 6 hens !
Getting 4-5 everyday now !
Paul.
