As you know, I joined a French forum, and saw this just now.
I said I'd copy it onto here and see what you guys think.
| Quote: | | Have a problem with 2 of my hens, they are laying absolutely "huge" eggs! I have had this before and the hen has always died in the end, the eggs come out with blood on the shells and it isn't doing them any good at all. Is there anything I can do to stop it happening?? |
I have asked this person to weigh the eggs, because I'm sure I've heard of hen's laying pretty enormous eggs, well over 130g and they've come to no harm. In fact, I recall Neil (aka Double Yolker) had really big eggs.
Hope you can help  |

What type of feed? Maybe if it is too rich in protien's the chicken's body would produce a larger egg to dispell the extra's?
