    One hen laying weird eggs?

    We have Brahma chickens, 2 sets and ages of hens. Our older hen (only 2 years old though!) has been laying less frequently and getting these bigger, paler and slightly misshapen eggs.

    Is there a such thing as “too much candling”

    Is there a such thing as candling too often? We are have some eggs incubating and we are on day 6. Just want to know if there’s a such thing as candling too often?
