Right ..who knows what their coop situation is ...Yes, I'd think aggressive roosters wouldn't be culled out in a large breeding flock for hatcheries.

What up with that?
That came from my 2 year old pearl leghornIt's just one of the egg shell abnormalities that sometimes shows up, usually with older hens but could be a young pullet who's still figuring out the egg production process.
Possibly just a anomaly. I had a few from a brown leghorn, only reason I knew who did it actually saw her drop one from the roostThat came from my 2 year old pearl leghorn

X2.
I've had terrible experience with hatchery cocks. The sandhill giant's I have now, they might not be breeders but they obviously cull aggression. I have one and I gave my brother another, calm, better than the hens actually. At one point I had both and two red Sussex cockerels from them, no aggression what so ever, it was amazing.
They still hold there own though when need be, just lost a hen to a fox, fox didn't get to enjoy it's meal, my big boy was not too friendly with it, luckily DW was home, lost the hen but not him. Rest of them were smart and run into the coop.
Dealing with two peckerwoods of hatchery naked necks right now, bad bad bad. I'd cull them, but kinda hard when they're all you have...
Hoping the trend doesn't follow the offspring... (need a prayer emoji)
