Hello I'm new to BYC and I'm a beginner in chicken keeping. I have two nullified pekin bantams (freckles and speckle) twelve week old. I have a black australorp which I believe is about a year old (hazel hen) and two of her chicks (bramble and cheeky) three weeks old. Hazel layed her first egg since we got her a few days ago which was beautiful and tasted amazing she announced when she was laying.
However, today she has just layed her second egg and it has a hole on the pointy end!
I feed her layers pellets and give her fresh water daily as well as grit and oyster shell, for an occasional treat she gets a smidge of bread or corn. She is also cleaned regularly and I do a poo pick up every day or every other day to keep her clean. She has access to dust bathing and has her own home built pen of which she free ranges.
Am I doing something wrong? What is this hole in the egg. I hope she is ok I love her too pieces. Please help. Thanks xxx
