    Who else is waiting for that first egg?

    Nice! Congrats! Now that daylight savings time is over, the production from my girls has slowed WAAAAAAY down. We're getting maybe and egg a day from 8 hens! We have 2 that are over a year and I think they're continuing to lay, but my younger girls aren't doing much. And our recently introduced...

    What a beauty! She looks like my Cookie! Her sister, Cupcake, started laying yesterday! FINALLY! Now, if I can get Cookie and my holdout Buff to get with the program, we'd be set!

    Who else is waiting for that first egg?

    We are still waiting for our original flock to lay- we have 4 Buff Orpington hens and 1 roo. They're just now 16 weeks. I understand they are late layers, so I'm guessing we have a few more weeks yet. They are awfully big though and 2 have pretty red combs and wattles (nothing on the other 2)...
