I'm sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong forum but I wasn't sure where else to post this.
A little background first. My boyfriend and I bought a hen who is about a year old back at the beginning of January. The woman we bought her from said that she was laying daily but when we got her home she stopped playing for about three weeks, which could be expected. She started laying eggs consistently every day or every other day after that.
Recently are young rooster started mounting the girls for the first time at which point the hen (shes the only one of our 8 girls who's old enough to lay yet) stopped laying again. Today i went to check the nesting box and found this severely deformed egg. She gets plenty of calcium and is eating and drinking normally. No other symptoms. Should I be concerned?
