    How long does it take for the eggs to get big?

    Hi, My 6 White leghorn hens started laying small eggs at about 24 weeks. They are jumbo now 4 months later, with beautiful yellow orange yolks. I am now waiting for my Rir's to lay, to compare.

    Mixing Leghorns with RIR's

    Hey Yall, The gate has been open between the RIR's and the Leghorns for 2 weeks. They mix and mingle, but they always go back to their own pad. The RIRs are afraid of the Leghorns. They must have traumatized them through the fence. Do you think they'll get better?

    Getting Well After the Flu

    Walked to the coop with DH this evening. My heart was pounding, but I made it. My RIR's have really grown from 10-12 weeks. They are as big as my leghorns. Pretty tired now. Take Care Yall.

    Since yesterday, the gate between the White Leghorn Girls and the 11 week RIR's has been open. No major problems besides the hens being a little bossy. I wound up with 4 roos and 4 hens, plus an EE that I just am not sure about. We are gonna keep 1 roo, give 1 to DH's friend, and try to give...

    Hey Yall, When my husband is at work, I fasten the screen door, and deadbolt the big door. My dogs are small, MiniDachshund, and chiweenie. However, they are very keen on the noises around here, and are very LOUD. Chiweenie will bite in a minute. I figure with the noise of the screen door...
