That just when I get my beautiful Orpington's laying sorted out, she goes broody
She is 11 months old, and has always laid soft-shelled eggs. After intensive calcium therapy, she has not laid a soft shell for three weeks now.
She has also always laid very small eggs - averaging 48 to 53 grams each. This week she has laid : 60g, 61g, 62g and today 63g.
And now here she sits. On the nest. On top of 10 eggs. Fluffed up like a porcupine and singing to herself.......
Are you KIDDING ME!
Sigh. So I guess once she's hatched out chicks it will be another 4 months or so before I see an egg of any kind?
