One of my Rhode Island reds (I have 3) started laying at 23 weeks (a week ago) ....and one of my three leghorns started laying yesterday (25 weeks).

I know eggs here are anywhere from $2.79 to almost $4.00 a dozen. Do any of you sell your eggs. What do you charge? Once my ladies get going well, I plan on selling them by the half dozen at my work (I already have a laundry list of interested co-workers). What would you sell a half dozen for? A...

OK I found a white egg along with the brown egg this morning. I will officially stop freaking out because it looks like now, one of my leghorns is laying. So one of my leghorns, and one of my Rhode Island Reds. The rest should follow suit soon I hope

I have been fretting one egg a day since my first one. Wondering when the other 5 hens will follow Suit

they all appear to have that. Including the one with the black feather

I wasn't really referring to the color of my chickens. When my stepdad bought them, from the local feed store, he says he thought the guy referred to the breed as a yellow leghorns. They are actually all white, except one that has a black feather. Someone on here told me that one was probably...

So how do I get my ladies to lay in their nesting boxes? Since it looks like they will be fond of laying them in the run. I noticed some of the nesting boxes appeared to have the wood shavings all fluffed up by the hens about 2 weeks ago. So I assumed they were getting them ready as...

@ChickenGrass , awesome! Thank you!

That is my assumption. I don't know which hen laid the two eggs. But based on what I am told about egg color, I assume yes! I really thought my big yellow leghorn that has the black feather(I am told it is a cross breed) would be first. Just based on how she was acting, and she is the biggest. I...

After getting our first one yesterday, we had another today. I assume it is one of my RIRs. Don't they lay little brown eggs? I thought I read yellow leghorns lay white eggs, and My other ones are leghorns. The egg layer, so far,isn't using the nesting box. Nor are any of them sitting on or...

I GOT ONE!!!!!!!! In the middle of the run. None were nesting on it, so I don't know whose is is! A small, perfect brown egg. Right at 23/24 weeks! FINALLY!

No. They don't go outside the run

So did I! My coop isn't incredibly big, but I have enough nesting boxes for each of them, they have plenty of room in the run, food, water, shade, fresh garden greens, etc! Everything!

I have three yellow leghorns and 3 Rhode Island reds

Eeeeeerrrrrmeerrrrrgerrrrrd! They all are laying down and being still at different times through the day now (not like them)! WHERE ARE MY EGGS LADIES?????????? I am going nuts. Just nuts! Everyone has quelled my nerves that I not only have 4.....but likely 5 hens. We are pushing 23/24 weeks...

Well, now that I know she is a Lucy.....I notice lately she has days where she just kind of sits there.....then have energy again a couple days later. Today she is just sittin there not wanting to get up much. Perhaps sign of an egg on the way?

Yeah, someone pointed that out . We got them from the same place at the same time. But this one had that one single black feather on it's back (they were about a week old). It just VERY recently started getting a little more black. I was sure she was a rooster. Then sure she was just the...

It's one of my leghorns we keep hemming and hawing over

Yeah, I definitely knew what the Delaware was. We rescued him from a nearby creek where a dog was about to attack him.

And this is the one that, for 2 months more, I kept going back and forth as to whether a pullet or not. It got sick last week and the comb got pale and droopy. It is back to it's old self now. But comb never went back up!
