I’ve only gotten two, but I’m wondering if I should be worried.

I just upgraded to Henhouse Reserve
I offer oyster shell separately

But now I’m getting fairy eggs?

I have 18, 2 roosters, 5 roosting bars and even then I have some outside roosts and they sometimes roost on those

Are they molting and they return to laying they lay a fairy egg?

I’m a worry wart

If you plan to keep your roosters long term, I would stop feeding the flock layer feed and instead switch to an all flock type of feed with a container or 2 of oyster shell on the side for free choice feeding.

Have you cracked open the fairy eggs to see what is inside? Sometimes an egg will form over a sloughed off piece of reproductive tract tissue.

It said it was rooster approved?

It was just egg white

I cracked the second one and found this. And it has a smell. Not like a bad egg
