Chickens@61 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 holly, our ross lohmann hybrid started laying about two weeks ago. she laid an egg everyday for 10 days, then three days off, and today she has laid a tiny (and i mean tiny - smaller than bantam size) egg.. just wondered if this could be a sign of any problem, or is it just part of the settling down process? thank you in advance for any advice. x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamebird Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I would think it is part of the settling down process. Mine started laying about 6 weeks ago and every now and then one of them lays a tiny, funny shaped egg with a hard shell which is perfect inside. If she is eating, drinking and behaving normally then I wouldn't worry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I shouldn't think it is anything to worry about at this stage. Her next egg could be a double yolker. It takes a while for them to get fully into the swing of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickens@61 Posted June 23, 2008 Author Share Posted June 23, 2008 thanks for the advice and reassurance, the children think the little egg is 'cute' and hope she carries on laying that size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 your little egg could be a contender for the small egg leader board.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickens@61 Posted June 23, 2008 Author Share Posted June 23, 2008 i will photograph it for evidence, would weigh it but we haven't got very accurate scales Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
