I have four chickens. They have all about reached 18 weeks. I've found two "eggs" in the area they like to roam around during the day without a shell. Looks like a yolk and maybe a sack.
The barred rock has laid several (~7) little normal eggs over the last 10-14 days...small but otherwise normal. So I can probably rule out this chicken.
The other three are a Buff Orpington, Red-Laced Blue Wyandotte, and an Australorp. Not sure which one it is yet.
Here's a photo of the one I found today:
I've been gradually switching them from grower feed to Purina layer crumbles with calcium (https://shop.purinamills.com/products/purina-layena-crumbles). I'm going to pick up more oyster shell supplement in the morning.
Is there anything else I should be doing? They've all seemed otherwise very active, happy, and healthy.
Thanks!
