I was out of town for a day working and my son fed the girls. when I got home I had found he had put some slices of an orange in the run and they ate it. Its been almost a week and they have not laid a single egg since. Will they start laying again, or am I out of luck?

How often after the first egg should I expect another?

My Barred Rock ended up being a rooster. I never heaerd from anyone on if they wamted him or not, so I took him to a farm in lubbock where he is doing well. On a brighter note, I came home from work yesterday to find my first egg. Not sure which of my 2 RIR laid it but I was proud.

Hey everyone, I have a question and I am sure the answer is on the forum somewhere. I was doing some mild browsing and got impatient lol. My chicks are 5 weeks old as of yesterday and tomorrow I need to go to the feed store to get some more feed. My question is, should I leave them on chick...
