I have a Cuckoo Marans that just started laying. Every egg is a huge double yolker! Today I was amazed at the size of the egg. I always put eggs in my pocket when I am out in the yard. Never had one break before. Todays was just too big. I wanted to send a picture but this is one from two days ago.
The egg next to it is a egg from an older BCM (not a pullet) so you can see just how big that egg is. This is the only kind of egg she has laid. Big and double yolks.
She is too fat .I bet you she is pul 1.
that what happen when pullets grow faster especially with a winter hatching .
here how I rise my winter hatched pullets . Chicks started for the first 10 weeks.
Pullets grower for 2 weeks than I start giving then mix grain ( 13% protein s) by the 4 weeks I ll give them 50/50 one feeder each . I help them build they frames and strange bones , when the time comes I ll put them into the layers diet 15%
Spring hatched pullet ; first 8 weeks Chicks starter than a pullets grower tell the point of laying I ll change they diet to breeders feed 17% plus mix grains at 13% proteins .
I have no problem with double yolk .
chooks man
