Great to have you. Have you kept up with the oyster shell? Maybe they need calcium. This is hearsay because my chickens are just now coming to point of lay. I should have my first egg within 2 wks. I hope, I hope.

I'm not sure but it may be one of the Red Pullets it's about there size. The Dixie Rainbows all ways give me massive eggs double yoked. I'm thinking of giving the Reds away next year and pick up some more Rainbows.
