Hello all - I don't know if the timing was off and they've gone into molt, or if it's just taking a looooooong time for them to start laying. I'm frustrated though, and was wondering if I'm doing something wrong? I have five Golden Penciled Hamburgs. They were born May 4th, so they're 28...

I have a beautiful 8-week old white polish rooster, needs a new home since I live in the city and can't keep him! He's docile, can be handled easily, and takes good care of his hens. He's starting to try and crow though, which means the neighbors will start complaining! I can even deliver...
