My polish hen laid her first egg yesterday. I was cleaning the chicken house and low and behold up under the nesting boxed she had made a hole and laid a little white egg.

She is right at 19 or 20 weeks old. She hasn't shown any signs of having any wattles and her comb is still very small and very light pink if not nearly white. I was just wondering if at about this age she should be growing wattles or maturing more?

I took some cabbage out to the flock a little while ago and I took a banana with me. I sat on my little stool and I peeled the banana and after one little taste it was like attack of the mad chickens! You should have seen them. They went crazy over the banana. Even after they had devoured it...
