My Rhode Island Red, Bertha, started laying these tiny eggs with no yolks last month.

It happened right after a cold snap in early March, and she laid about five of them over two weeks. I read it can be a stress thing or maybe her system is just resetting. Has anyone else's hen done this, and did you do anything to help?

Shoutout to a hiker I met on the Colorado Trail who said the Collegiate West loop is better than the East.

We were at the Twin Lakes resupply. He'd done both sides. Said the East is crowded, views are good but not great. West has way fewer people, more alpine stuff, better campsites. Showed me pics on his phone. The San Juan peaks looked insane. I was set on the East for weeks. Now I'm rethinking my whole August plan. Anyone done the West side recently? How's the water situation past 11,000 feet?

My writing prof in college said to never use flashbacks. I just sold a story that's one long flashback.
