I have been getting about 1 egg a day that looks like it has wrinkles or lines in it. We have about 55 hens out there, give or take, so I have no idea who is doing it. Its a white egg. The shell seems solid but I'm just wondering if it is OK to eat?
Also, we have about 20 hens just starting to lay. The 17 month old hens had really slowed down to the point where we were only getting 6 eggs a day. The younger hens are now starting but the eggs are only the size of the small eggs you get in the store. Last year when my hens first started laying I had tons of big, even gigantic eggs, so what is the scoop?
The hens are EEs, RIRs and a couple of Buff Orps along with maybe 6 to 8 cross breeds.
