⠀ 14 week old hen laid a egg!

[Abesinger]

one of our comet hens laid a egg she is 14 weeks old!

Should this concern me, is it bad that she laid this early. I have never had a chicken that has laid at 14 weeks!

They usually start laying around 15-20 weeks old. You may want to keep an eye out for vent prolapse. Just look it up.
It is easily treated if caught early, but if not your chicken's a gonner. We're actually slaughtering one today.
