Thank you ! I actually called the farm that I ordered them from. The lady told me that it is RARE, but not unusual. She said that it's because they're very healthy birds . I keep them on about 18% all-in-one feed and I've been treating their water with bvs starter pack also. Along with those I just give them lots of cabbage, kale, and broccoli/cauliflower. Apparently, they're laying about a month early. They didn't go broody or ANYTHING , I just went to prepare their food tray and heard what I thought was normal excitement and came back to find a little egg. I'm so excited I've been researching all day lol.

I large Africans take long their eggs are not usaully fertile by their first year. Mine the birds have to be around 3 years to be guaranteed fertile.
