hi peeps...
So I have a Cuckoo Bluebar and she just started laying. I was wondering if what she’s doing is typical. Last week she acted confused (in and out of the coop, sitting around puffed up, talking a lot), then overnight she laid two “eggs”— one was a blob of yolk and some shell-ish material, the other was a soft-shelled pale grey egg which she promptly stepped on upon seeing me at the door. A few days later she laid a tiny egg (greenish grey) and yesterday she laid another soft-shelled tiny egg with perfect interior (yolk and white).
My questions are:
Isn’t she supposed to have light blue eggs— and will 5hey change as she becomes more “regular”?
How long do you think it will take her to lay a normal-sized egg— with the days getting shorter, I’m thinking she may just stop until Spring?
So.... I sort of know what the answers might be... but I’m in a wasteland here in NJ and there’s no one to talk to about these chickens. Sometimes I just want to have some “chicken talk”. Know what I mean?
