Got my first egg yesterday. Have 24 pullets, 4 breeds, large brown-egg producing. Not sure which one, but suspect was a buff comet. It was medium size, weak shell, and looked as if the bird laid it while on the roost as it was under the roost, broken. (the buffs usually congregate there for whatever reason.) A buff comet was investigating it when I entered coop and saw it. Looked as if yoke was still intact, so I may have prevented a bird becoming an egg-eater?
THING IS, MY BIRDS ARE ONLY 16 WEEKS OLD, albeit they seem large for their ages except for three runts. I have always fed them garden scraps since they were a week old along with Dumor chick feed crumbles at that time.
