    frequent broody plan hen

    Pullet with huge egg?

    I got two Americuanas in late March and was told they were 8 months. I was getting about 1 egg a day - kind of a normal grocery store size egg. Then I got a huge egg - far bigger than an extra large egg from the grocery. Then really small eggs since. The big egg wasn't a double yolk - just a...
