Granny's gone and done it again

[CapricornFarm]

Hey Cap, whatcha doing? Rain and ice coming down here. I will probably lose all my blooms huh?

I am on BYC, there's a zombie show on that hubby is watching. Also going to work on a ceramic piece in a little while. Trying to get stuff ready for the big swap.

Guess I was too slow.

Too slow at what?
How are you feeling today? Are you getting used to your chair?

Are you sure she is done?

I have here a rather unusual occurance, unusual in that she continues laying this size. In the picture there is a normal bantam egg with a dozen small yolkless eggs surrounding it. This is a bantam pullet that is doing this. So far I have gotten 15 eggs from her in the last three weeks that are like this. Her full sister is laying the normal bantam size eggs.View attachment 3068968

That’s pretty odd

Yes, candled the eggs. The other half are empty. When will she become "un-broody"?

Depends on the broody. Mine waited much longer than usual. The chicks were 6-7 weeks when she became normal.

Unless you mean just getting off the nest? Usually they take 1-3 days after the first chick hatches.
