    Double yolk

    so one of my wonderful barred rocks is laying giant double yolks. I am assuming the first huge egg I got is a double and the one I got this am, that I cracked open to enjoy, is. So my question is will she always lay double yolks or is this just a fluke?

    Barred rock egg irregularities

    I have 7 barred rocks about 4/5 months old. I have one who seems to have her laying down to a science. But the others not so much. Got 4 eggs for the first time today, but two were soft and one had some color irregularities. Any thoughts? It is the second time I have had the irregular colored egg.

    Red speck in poop

    Not sure if it’s truly blood or not but noticed it when checking for eggs. The egg in picture is a fake egg and the pullers haven’t laid any yet. The are barred rocks around 15-16 weeks. No one seems to be acting oddly. They are free ranged and eat organic feed.
