First egg!!!!

[whittychick]

My girls are laying finally!!!! But their eggs were broken and small? Is this normal?

The small is understandable - they are still small hens. But the broken eggs....Are you giving them a layer feed? And have you provided oyster shell?

 

[whittychick]

No oyster shell yet! I will do that ASAP! Thanks

Woke up this morning and checked on the hens and this is what I found!!!

I got my first egg today too. I also wasn't expecting them to be so small, but it makes sense. They aren't full grown hens yet.

Yea that's true! So exciting tho!
