FIRST EGG

[TDB]

Found our first egg today,, yipeeee

Is it normal for the fist egg to be VERY small??

[Mad Chick]

Yay!!! first eggs are always SO eggciting

Perfectly normal for the first few to be very small, they'll gradually get bigger over the next few weeks

It must be a day for it!

Yes, they can be small, sometimes odd shapes or wrinkled too!

They get the hang of it eventually!

[MissEllie]

Yey me too!
Mine was quite wee too but perfectly formed. Have just given my chooks a lovely hot mash with goodies in it as a special thank you.

had the egg tonight, fried.

Very pale, and very taste-less

Is this normal when they start out, or am i missing/not feeding them something i should be

She is just a baby and learning to lay.
As long as you are providing her with layers pellets all day then she is getting everything she needs.
Then just give her time...
PS: Don't tell her her first egg was tasteless, she will be devastated after all her efforts

[TDB]

Layers all day, hand full of mixed corn for supper, and fresh veg and fruit.
(and weeds flowers grass and sunflowers when in garden)

Patience then.
