    VERY long narrow eggs

    Ok so this is an old post, but I just got a narrow egg like that from a first egg. This chicken never laid before and just laid her first and it came out all narrow like that. I’m wondering if it’s ok?

    Ok thank you, will do. I just hooked up a misting system on their run, hopefully that helps. It’s shaded also with two large tarps over the whole run.
