We have 3 hens just about 2 years old, and 6 pullets that are 21 weeks old.
One of our 3 hens has always been smaller and weaker than the others, and quite frankly, I don't think she ever laid any eggs. When we only had 3, we would only get 1-2 eggs per day, and I'm 99% sure none were from her.
1 of the 3 hens resumed egglaying a few weeks ago and has been laying almost every day. Another of the hens laid for a few weeks back in Jan/Feb, and then stopped and she doesn't seem to have resumed.
2 weeks ago, we found 1 normal-sized egg and 1 small egg. We thought it was one of the pullets starting to lay, but then I kept seeing the small hen sitting on the small eggs and assumed they were from her.
Today, I discovered our broody-licious hen sitting on THREE tiny eggs. I found her around 8:30 this morning, and as of 6 pm last night, the coop was clear of eggs.
WHAT is going on?? I am baffled.
