And my only layer, 20 week old Snow White, white leghorn keeps going into the nest box and she's made two nice looking circles, sang the egg song, but hasn't laid a thing. She didn't lay yesterday and the day before was an perfectly formed egg in nest box.
Are these things normal for a new layer? Any chance the soft shell egg was from my Ancona who just turned 17 weeks last Tuesday? I ask because the area where I found the egg was where AC was on the roost last night. They both are white layers or will be.
I feed her Purina start and grow because of the different ages in my flock (youngest 7 weeks) and she gets to free range once a day, she gets oystershell available any time and mealy worms as a a daily treat.
