I am a novice when it comes it comes to chooks, having had my two Isa Browns
for the grand total of 25 days.
In that time they have laid 45 eggs, mostly around 60-65 grams. Over the
last 10 days they have laid two per day.
This morning I was greeted by one regular size (for them) and one whopping
90g egg!
Is it common for chooks to suddenly lay an oversized egg, and what would be
the stimulus for this to happen?
They are fed on mixture of layer pellets and mash, with treats of sunflower
seeds, sorghum, barley and corn. In addition they get veggie scraps. They
spend all daylight hours free-ranging in our garden. Yesterday, they got a
bit of leftover canned tuna.
Could the tuna have stimulated the production of the jumbo egg?
