I'm a Greenie :). My 44 - 4.5 month old hens are just beginning to lay eggs. Some of them have speckles and other markings. Is this normal? I just want to make sure that it doesn't mean they are lacking anything in their diet. Thanks for your help in advance!
I am new to homesteading and have a flock of 12 chickens and 2 Pearled guineas. My guineas started laying at 16 wks and they are 22 wks now. Some of my chickens started laying 3 wks ago and I have noticed a big difference between the 2 kinds. The one that concerns me a bit is the guinea egg...
