I have a sweet little cuckoo maran who laid her first egg. Gorgeous. Brown with a flood of dark chocolate speckles covering it. Favorite egg I’ve gotten from my whole mixed flock.
BUT that was a week ago. I know some breeds lay more than others, and that cuckoos can be a little slower. I also understand that new layers can have a slew of irregularities when they start(size, colors, double yolks, soft shell, the works), and that it evens out over time. But is one egg a week normal? I’ve seen people asking about 1 every 3 or 4 days... but nothing about 1 a week
