    Are Double Yolkers Everyday Harmful?

    Awesome, that's good to know! They're super fun to see but not at the cost of her health so thanks for the info!!! I've gotten five double yolkers from the other girls in the short time they have been laying, maybe she's trying to one up them :)

    Who else is waiting for that first egg?

    Ladies!!!! No eggs yet but one of my girls has been laying alone in the coop all day today. Its hot so I've had the door propped open and I was shocked to see her in there because all the other girls were hanging out in the barn! Do you think she's getting ready to lay an egg?!?!

    Who else is waiting for that first egg?

    Oh my, I hope I survive another four weeks of waiting lol. Congratulations!! Did they act any differently or indicate they were going to lay? My girls are free range all day but go in and out of the coop and then are locked in from about 7pm - 7 am. I'm hoping they use the nesting boxes and...

I bought them at the feed store as straight run but the woman selling them to me told me they got the wrong shipment in and they were a week old so no one wanted them.
