Quote: It's not at all common for a leghorn to go broody, though they have. Does sounds awful young. X2, but I wouldn't worry there is anything wrong with her - sometimes hen's decide to do the craziest things. I would break her up though if you are not going to use her. What do mean break...

Finished getting my first dozen today. Took a week and a day. I have two leghorns that are laying now. They are still a little small but getting bigger each day. The other 4 sexlinked are the same age but not laying yet.

I have ordered from CConly.com and QCsupply.com aned had good rsultes from both. There are about the same price. Shipping was a little faster from QC supply.

Quote: I have started to add our shells back along with oyster shells and they seem to like both.

Quote: I have started freezing 2 liter soda bottles about 2/3 full of water. They will fit into the waterer and last longer than ice cubes. Will try the same with 2 liter bottles and water nipples this week. It is going to be 102 Wednesday and around 100 the rest of the week.
