    Gigantic eggs

    I have an olive egger (RRR and an Ameracauna mix) that just started to lay and her eggs are gigantic. I have a full RRR and hers are large but not competed to Olives. Should I be concerned? Olive is on the left Barley (RRR) on the right.

    Fertilized lawn and free range chickens...

    Not sure if this is where I should post. I had to fertilize my lawn yesterday and it’s a granular pellet for slow release. I make sure that I only use organic but it still worries me.
