Oh, it’s cold this morning, I wish I had an inbuilt feather duvet / coat on days like this!
So all the girls have a similar diet, mainly chicken feed, plus daily treats with additional calcium to aid shell production.
All the girls spend a similar length of time out of the run, free ranging in the woods, and it apparently takes a similar effort (at least in terms of time in the nesting boxes) to produce their daily eggs.
The outcomes however, can be quite different. Gloria tends to lay “odd” wrinkly eggs. (See photo below). They still taste delicious.
Sometimes, regardless of your efforts, the results might not be exactly what you’d like. It’s okay not to be perfect all the time, everyone is going through different things.
Trying your best is always good enough.
(Just to note that wrinkled eggs are not unusual and might just indicate that Gloria will stop laying soon, and that’s great – chickens are much less susceptible to illness when they no longer lay).
