3 today - one got eaten by the young pullets (I think it may have been the 2nd egg of one of my girls) then a first egg for another and my regular silkie egg (after not expecting many eggs from my 2 silkies - I'd been told they lay 2 a week I get one almost every day and 2 days this week I had 2!!).

I bought my 2 silkie hens as mummies so the 4-5 eggs a week I've been getting for the last month is all bonus! I'm about to post about if one of them is broody or not! How early can they lay from? I go out about 7.30 but the egg eating must have happened after that and before late morning. Yes they have a high protein mixed flock type pellets with vitamised grit and oystershell free choice on the side.

it is best to figure out who is doing it isolate them from the others eggs or cull them

Eek culling seems a majorly extreme solution when they are such young pullets and it was only the 2nd real egg they'd seen! They have plaster eggs in the nest box which is what they say is good. I'll explore all the other options first!

It is possible the egg got broken and the girls ate it.

(after not expecting many eggs from my 2 silkies - I'd been told they lay 2 a week I get one almost every day and 2 days this week I had 2!!).

That can be the case first year or so. My Cubalayas weren't supposed to be good layers but they were through their first year (when they weren't broody) and through their second spring. Then they slowed down.
