Moult Question
« on: July 12, 2011, 12:14 »
Our Girls are yet to have their first moult, after they do and resume laying will their eggs get bigger? all 16 of our hens are just shy of one year old and was just curious.

yours are still pullets, when they get over a year old they become hens and don't worry assuming they aren't bantams they will get bigger (although some breeds lay bigger eggs than others - orps even though they look big only lay a medium size egg  :)).
Staffies are softer than you think.
