We just started raising chickens. We have 6 so far. They are about 4 months old and they just started laying the 18th of July. So about 16 weeks old. We have only gotten 4 so far. But I found one that had already been busted because of its soft shell. So that would make five and that one and another were soft shelled. They have all been small. The first two I cooked up and made for my husband and they were gritty tasting. We couldn't see anything in them. Not sure what to make of that. If that is normal. Should we always disregard all the first eggs? And I'm not sure how to tell which hen is laying and which isn't.
