Hello
My 7 year old Silver Laced Wyandotte bantam has resumed laying this year. Last year the vet gave her a hormone implant to stop her laying as she had become prone to prolapses.
In the meantime I added 3 pekin bantams to my existing 2 Wyandotte bantams. Sadly the other of the elderly Wyandotte passed away and two of the pekins had problems and had to be pts. Florence the Wyandotte and Dolly the Pekin are becoming best friends now that they can run round in the garden after Avian Flu restrictions have been lifted, though Florence makes it perfectly clear that she is Queen. She is a different bird, sprightly and full of life now that she has a young subject in tow.
I digress ..... would the older hen's eggs be suitable for eating? The shells are improving in quality compared with her first few. Which I didn't use as they seemed a little translucent, I was thinking they would be OK for baking?
Kind wishes
Anna
