One of my light brahmas gave us the adorably small egg. Thinking it's a glitch as they're only 18-19 weeks, but they've started allowing my roosters advances, so I'm not too surprised.

Apologies for the duplicate thread, I've read each post that I could get my hands on on the topic and didn't necessarily felt like they matched our situation enough. I will also apologize in advance if I get terms wrong, I've pulled up a photo of chicken anatomy to try to make this as clear as...

So I'm realizing I have an issue with my chickens flying/jumping into the hardware cloth which usually isn't too big of a deal (no one has knocked themselves silly yet).
