Hello,
I have an older chicken, about a year and a half old, that has begun laying tiny little eggs (one inch long or so) almost every day. I have Buff Orpingtons, Production Reds, Rhode Island Reds, and Black Australorps. I don't know which it is, but I suspect it is one of the Buffs, becuase they mostly just sit on whatever egg they find and I don't think they produce much.
I am fairly confident that they have all been layers, because we've had days when we've had as many eggs as chickens. This just started a couple weeks ago.
Can anyone tell me if this indicates anything? Should I be worried about it? Do chickens go through phases like this?
Thanks for any help or advice.
Tony
