my pullets became hens three weeks ago. My flock is 3 WLH, 3 SxL-C, 3 SxL-BC, 1 SB-Bntm and a SDW-Bntm. I have consistently gotten a cream peewee egg every day from my SDW bantam hen. I am concerned because her breed is not a heavy layer from what I've been reading. I have them on leyena pro with oyster shell free fed. Minimal snacks outside of forage. I don't want her to burn out early and she won't go broody on ceramics, so what to do? Will she be OK? Anyone else have a daily layer bantam?

She must have got some good laying genes! Most hens lay well for their first 18 months and then they will start to slow down a bit. She may decide to go broody as she gets older, or she may not.

I love bantam eggs. It's winter where I am but one of our 6 year old bantams has started laying for me. I've had 2 little eggs from her so far in the last 3 days.
