I live in Missouri sun comes up around 6 and sets about 9 so around 15 hours of sunlight give or take a hour.

I have been waiting and waiting and still no eggs. We have 5 barred rock hens and 1 rooster. His name is Rocky and since I can't tell the difference between them all the hens are Adrian. As far as we know they are 21 weeks old. When...

Ok what is squatting?

I think the second pic is a hen and the other is a rooster. We have a hen that is the same lighter color as the rooster but she doesn't have a comb. They are barred rocks too.

Ha ha eggciting I'm gonna use that one! 

We have a barred rock rooster named Rocky! All my hens have the same name "Adrian"

I don't know the exact age of my chickens but they are all barred rocks and we think they are about 20 weeks old and still nothing. I look for that first egg everyday but still no luck.

Well the last few nights we have been putting all the chickens on the roost when I went out to close them up for the night and last night they were all up there! I was so proud.

Tonight we put them all up on the roost so we will see how it goes. A couple of them kept jumping off and I would pick them up and put them back on. They would just sit on my hand like and eagle at a show. It was kind of neat

I know they can get on the roost cause when i go out in the morning they are on it! They are still young we haven't gotten any eggs yet!
