I am breeding for egg size but tbh I’m a bit worried I’ve taken it too far. They are big hens but I’m wondering if I’ve actually forced something that’s not good for them. I feed a great quality breeder feed and on top of that supplement lineolic acid, calcium and rehydrate fly larvae for them at least twice a week.

For reference this generation are 6weeks 2 days and have been laying eggs over 20g every day for over 7 days. Today one laid a 27g egg. After I brought this one in and weighed it another hen in the same pen laid an even bigger one. Pictured are my usual eggs from my jumbo quail pen for reference, those ones weigh 12-15g on average.
