tiny eggs

[Anonymous]

hiya everyone am new to this forum and chicken keeping, i rerscued two lovely hens a couple of months ago and gave them the run of my garden. have had very happy hens till now they have been laying fine and seem very happy then i started to get tiny eggs... not every day but have had 4 now in last month and there getting smaller...i know this happens in young hens but mine are approx 2 years old...they have oyster grit and layer pellets and a supply of scraps as treats (but not all the time) can anyone help please im worried i may be doing something wrong or they are sick.....

Hello and welcome to the forum
Sometimes they will lay small eggs- these dont usually have a yolk- it is nothing to worry about and they will start to lay normal eggs soon.
regards, David

Ditto what davidd said, but if they are ex-batts could possibly be older than you think & coming to the end of their laying life. Are they hybrids or purebred? You would still get eggs but not regularly. Our LS never layed regularly after she was 2.
