Three of my Dominiques are laying. Eggs not big at all, and they aren't supposed to be. I don't believe the Delaware hen is laying. But she just started squatting and doesn't do the egg song.
Whole flock is the same age--hatched mid-April this year.
I continue to get the usual 3 small eggs...
Actually I got on here for the same question. Large, full size egg appeared in nest a few days ago. I presumed it came from my brahma. Even though this would have been her first, she is bigger than the other pullets and she is squatting and sings the egg song.
One of mine lets me hold her--and she's not a brahma. If I had a rooster that let me pick him up I'd probably try a crow collar, not wanting to part with him!
Just sharing a pic of my brahma pullet. She's a month and a half old. Sweet girl, nearly fell out of the coop door this morning when I was refilling the feeder. She hopped off the roost and couldn't put her brakes on fast enough.
She was a total impulse buy, but a good one because of her nature so far. I just worry about the summer heat with her. I'll have to prepare lots of ways to help her keep cool.
This is my brahma chick from Cackle. Is she the same colors yours were as chicks? I'm trying to guess at what she will look like grown up
Out of all my birds, she is most agreeable to being held lol
