so funny after I posted my last post, my crossbeak. (Named Crisscross by her 3 yr old owner)starting singing, found her in one of the nest. Funny one of the other pullets was singing slong with her on outside perch. She left the nest without laying after 15 mins. Went out 2 hrs later and found...

we collected 5 eggs by 9am yesterday. So I'm at 80% production rate. Thinking my crossbeak barred rock may be the last to lay. I haven't seen herin the nest at all. She looks good. Has trouble picking up food. Itmay take her 3-4 times to get it. Noticed her bottom beak has cracked off some...

rainy day wet day.but it stopped raining before 7PM for all the little trick or treaters. Girls stayed nestled in the winterized dry coop and scratched through everything. We have 3 girls laying for sure. I think my lower level layer is my crossbeak girl. She can be pretty imtimadated by our...

2nd egg in the chicken run yesterday around 3pm. This morning 2 eggs in the nest? ok is it possible to lay 2 eggs with 15 hrs?.....don't think so. I think we've got a third girl hiding amongst the flock. Someone too nervous to leave her post in the run. I think I'll put ceramic eggs back into...

on weds got 2 eggs. figured I had 2 girls laying...last 2 days only 1 egg a day....confused and disappointed. Think I need a live video feed to see what's going on. Found an egg on the ground in the run around 3pm.......oh no! Gotta girl too excited to visit the next.

2 eggs this morning. So the one pullet I thought was broody, was just a nervous girl. But what's even more surprising, she doesn't have that much of a comb and wattle. If I get a chance,I'll take a picture to show.

well, no egg at 7am this morning. I thought,no big deal. But low and behold, when I went out at 1:00pm to clean under roost, there was an egg. Yippee! 5 days in a row.

4 eggs in 4 days......

Third day of laying.......My RIR have delivered a so cute, small egg for 3 days in a row. I thought maybe the 24 hr cycle would get latter, but around 545am CST you can hear her singing. The coop is still closed up, so remaining flock moves to the opposite end of coop. Don't know if it's her...

We are on a (egg)roll. Started hearing some singing this morning. My RIR in the nesting box. She got out once. I let the other girls out. It took her longer this time. Maybe 5 sets of eyes staring at ya would slow the process down. May consider a curtain or 2 for some privacy.

anyway to tell if the egg came from RIR hen or a Barred Rock? Or are their eggs just to similar to tell?

It was about 6am, still dark outside. Heard the loudest cackle out of any of my girls from my bedroom window(30ft away) Let girls out and cleaned under roost, when I look over and see my very first egg. Don't know who laid, but proud of her

Here's my other RIR.... red comb and lots of time around the nest.....but no eggs yet

she gets darker then will turn lighter. Couple RIR just getting combs.

no not yet....all girls are 20 weeks today and singing their hearts out.

look inside winterized chicken run

I am down to 3 store bought eggs. Keeping thinking girls will make me happy with an egg or 2 here soon. Four out of 6 girls have strong comb and wattles. I've checked 3 out of 6 pelvic bones. Got 2.5-3 fingers distance. I reached for one of the girls today to check pelvic bones and she held...
