Hi friends --
We have four laying hens, about 1.5 yrs old, sleeping in a coop about 64 sq ft total, and roaming in a run that's probably about 75x20 ft during the day, with two nesting boxes. They have free access to Purina layer pellets as well as crushed oyster shell in a separate dish at all...
We went to collect our eggs today and got two misshapen eggs. I did some research and they seem to be “checks”. I don’t really see my girls fighting with each other or anything so I’m wondering if this can be caused by the heat? We are having a small drought and it’s been 90° almost every day...
