We havent had any snake issues at all here....we do have a larger than normal amount of road runners and they eat snakes I think.... I think that may be a blessing for us. I have 8 hens and all but one are laying....we are getting 7 a day for the most part....even my Americauna is laying daily...

cool....exciting to have eggs finally. I have 5 more that need to take note. lol 8/15 is pretty good in the way of progress.

Okay- Ive been getting the one hen that lays one a day and she only missed one day since she started, today I go out to clean,feed and water them to find an early egg.....I thought it was odd she laid so early from when she has been laying but no biggie.I clean head to the house and start...

Haha.....not yet. I am all proud about having two sitting on the counter though. She's giving one a day pretty strong too. Only missed one day since she started. The others sure look ready but I've thought that for a couple weeks now.

Im going to run them in a tractor and move them twice a day in green grass. I heard several mixed experiences on how messy they can be....im expecting messy but once they are old enough to go out they will have a new spot every 8-12 hours or so. Are they a lot of work? My biggest concern is...

I took the golf balls out and put a skillet in the nest.....maybe this will tell them I'm hungry ....I think the golf balls tell them I'm not going to be around because I'm golfing. Just a hunch! I also feel like the one laying is feeling pressure to lay because they don't get out until she...

LOL....We ordered 25 Cornish X and getting them Aug 13. It will be nice to have extra eggs some day.

My son wanted breakfast and I said we needed to wait a bit.......we waited and waited then he asked why we were waiting so late for breakfast and I said I don't know go ask the chickens! We waited and had a brunch. Lol....not buying anymore eggs so we wait till the one hen is ready..".we really...

Na....he is my protector of eggs! he is a good guy. At first I didnt want a roo but last minute weakened and always liked crowing....so we got him and turns out to be a smart move...he saved my girls more than once.

Looks like one of mine....they hold out to the bitter end I tell ya! I have just the one dropping eggs but two others are sure acting ready. Ive got an egg a day from the one laying except for one day....so, what three eggs? she is much quicker now too...like an ole pro. She will be out ranging...

Thanks .......chickens lay when you give up! Lol. My Americana is acting ready.....cool!

lol....I got my second egg today....it went from $2500 for my first egg(amount invested) and now that my second egg came along im down to $1250 an egg. cant wait until the compounding works in my favor.

Good to know bob.....This site has tons of great info but much of it can lead you wrong as well. basically when a chicken lays an egg is when you see it. lol Ive got three this morning Bok Bok Boking and laying in nest. I think eggs are in my near future.

Nope....just checked and no egg. Im loosing interest in the egg search daily so they should start laying. Ive got 8 that you think would be laying and 6 dont look any closer than when I got them two months ago, pretty sad when your proud of your rooster and not the girls. maybe I should find all...

Now I hope the others kick in. Splitting one egg three ways! Lol 8pm is pretty late huh..."never thought about it but figured it was a morning thing

nice looking egg.....the three of us all have dibs on the first egg....lol I'll give it to my son in the morning with breakfast. I can hardly wait to crack it open and see how the yolk looks.

Yes it was....everyone in this post got one didnt they? The hen that layed id being very sweet today....normally she doesnt get real close to me while im watering or working....she was under my feet as to say "are you proud of me?" lol...i noticed the next mature looking one is acting about the...

any minute was correct.

Bam!....we have an egg! lol....I just knew they were mad enough to lay an egg. they are free ranging as I post this.was much later in the day than I thought.....4pm

My most mature looking hen is staying in the nest box a bunch....she is Bok Bok Boking a bunch and seems antsy....she came out and ran back in.....she came out and acted as though its same ole thing as yesterday......I let them out to range and she stayed......when I realized she stayed, I...
