So we recently got a cuckoo maran rooster and hen from a local animal auction and both were said to be about a yr old...we've had them for almost 2 weeks and i got my first egg from the hen a few days ago and it was big but not the deep chocolate brown i was expecting more of a regular brown with dark brown spots. Well she didnt lay again until this morning and it was super small and misshaped, but it had a yolk and everything (picture attached)...is this just an accident or is this telling me she is missing something? And how often should i expect her to lay? I was hoping she'd be able to produce an egg at least every other day, but there was 3 or 4 days in between the last time she laid!
