Thanks Shadrach. It's a bit of a worry every second "cause" is "disease" though...

Deana is laying ridiculously large eggs again.

Really worries me , but there's nothing I can do for her.

It has a hard shell but is really "wrinkly". Has anyone else seen this type of thing before?

I have had large and wrinkly eggs before. It should be nothing to worry about. I know i wished my leghorns would lay a little smaller egg as they just seemed way too big for those little bodies. The wrinkling is nothing serious in my experience.

I just love the photos. What a beautiful flock. And it seems like they all had something to say. What are they telling you? “This is my good side?” Look closely, almost all of them had their beaks open. How did you do that? Mine are usually a closed beak lot.

Oh, that’s easy here... it’s the heat! All of them panting.. all. day. long....poor things... you can see most of them hanging around the water cooler
A friend if mine lost one of hers the other day.. they think over heated... she was broody and probably didn’t come out often enough to drink and cool off..
We have had a very dry summer and extremely HOT! I’ll put the sprinkler on to wet up their yard.. and dump buckets if water in the run for them to lay in..
