I have 5 hens(3 australorps,1 California grey, and one bantam) and I think my golden Phoenix bantam (Shirley) was the first and only bird to lay. She laid 5 eggs all the same size and color. And then stopped. I’m not sure why she stopped or what is going on. She is about 6 months old and is the only bird that squats and she doesn’t mate. However, the other birds mate frequently with the rooster. I’ve attached photos of the eggs. The white egg is a store bought egg. I understand her breed lays about 30 eggs a year and I was very proud of her but I have no idea how bantams lay.
Side note: my dog put Shirley in her mouth at 3 weeks and now Shirley attacks my dog in the face everytime she goes out to potty.
Shirley is quite the pet.
