Hello everyone 
I live in Ontario, Canada. I recently converted my garden shed into a chicken coop. I am a first time chicken owner and I have a mix flock of hens. 2 Red Sex Links, 2 EE, 4 Silkies, 1 Bantam New Hamp, 1 Bantam Wyandotte. One of my RSL lays a monster egg, which are occasionally double yolker's. The biggest was 110g. The other lays a very nice dark brown egg. Of the two hens sold to me as EE only one has started to lay; but her eggs are brown, they are very large though same size as my RSL's egg. I hope I get some colour from the other. Two of my Silkies are currently broody. The New Hamp and the Wyandotte lay well. A mini egg a day. This is my RSL that lays the monster egg. She has gotten frostbite on her comb, there is a small spot that is black. Should I be concerned? Its currently -7 snow on the ground and my hens are outside. The EE in the photo is the brown layer.
