If your hen lays on an egg longer than normal but you have no rooster and may have wild turkeys wandering around what does this mean?

Sometimes eggs get extra large, they may even contain two yolks. I don't think you've got a crossbreed.

This is when the cockerel has taken a lower position in the pecking order of the flock. He has been attacked by the dominant rooster every time he has attempted to mount a hen. After having been chased away and or attacked so often, the psychologically bullied bird just stops trying to mate. In some cases, even after the dominant bird is no longer around for whatever reason, the other rooster will just not take up the mating duties.
