You know what? I was working in the yard and saw butt feathers trailing up the hillside...I feel something got her . Madonna the 14yr old was taking a dirt bath and she wasn't hurt at all, so it was a lone predator. Years ago we lost 3 at once to 3 coyotes that glided over our 6'fencing like gazelles...it was horrible as they took them down our yard in broad daylight down our street in a small culdesac neighborhood...ughhhhh.... No, she's not coming back. We actually found where she was laying and retrieved 5 beautiful eggs. She had just gotten over her molt...
.. On a happy note, the other hens are all getting along much better. She has been a tyrant to the 10month brahmas...I didn't know a Hawk or Owl could do that. We have a lot of those. Wow! We have fox too...
they do have potential to change slightly in both color and size but not that drastically I had a couple that just laid smaller eggs as you stated and I gave it a month and just sold them off to be replaced with another couple youngins. The first few eggs do come out dif sizes while they develop/adjust so maybe give it a couple more weeks. I had one that her first egg was like a duck egg and had THREE yolks! Good luck to you
hahahaha, it's a "oops"..LOLoh no what happen lmao
