My sister-in-law sent me this link. My girls just started laying and I only have two eggs - wanted to see what you all thought of this.

I have four chickens - golden comet, black sex link, and 2 RIR. My golden comet is a few weeks older than the others. She is around 18 weeks old. Three days ago, I found the first egg in the nesting box - it had a very slight crack. They eat Purina Layena and I offer oyster shells as well...
So my Golden Comet just laid her first egg but it is slightly cracked. It is not cracked all the way through, just a little on the outer shell. So --- is it ok to eat? How do I prevent this from happening again? Thanks!
We are in the process of constructing this for our four hens -

Do I need to put something down in the run because of their poop and pee? The coop has a roof, and it is a half grass/half dirt run. I have read about what to do for...
I have all these above options for coop placement, and was wondering what is best for chickens? How much sunlight is enough - or too much? All advice WELCOMED, pretty please!
Hello! I am new to raising chicks. I bought two golden comets with the hope they will eventually lay eggs for me. I am unsure whether or not to feed them the medicated chick feed. I want these chickens to be raised as organically as possible. I'd love any insight, suggestions, and advice. Thank you!
