Your EE hen is very pretty,

I have three EEs that lay different colors, one green one blue and one so light it's pinkish. I have one EE that looks like a blue Americana and she lays a light brown kind of pinkish egg. They're all fun to get!

Silkiecuddles, I have a buff Orpington and she is a really good chicken. She lays real nice eggs and she has never gone broody yet. Can't say I feel bad about that because I would miss her eggs. Every now and then she lays me a huge egg, biggest eggs I ever saw. I had a well summer and she did...

Maybe it's the time of the year. My chickens weren't laying very well until I put a light on in their coop. It really does work. I put a red heat lamp. The room is to big for it to heat it up but it does light it up and red light is supposed to be better. I think I read that chickens start...

I got eleven out of 13 today and I thought for sure since it was 2 degrees below they might not lay as many it was a great surprise. I didn't let the chickens out of their pen today and you would have thought I was abusing them. It was so cold!

Maybe she had a rough night! Little joke. Very nice at any rate. Congrats. Sounds like me. I had 30 week old layers to and maybe older.

Catsol, I assume Bo is Buff orpington, what a pretty chicken, I have a Buff and would love a white ee like that. I'll have to figure out how to get one of those. Maybe take my Bo out to my daughters house who has a white Ameraucana-EE. Would that work? Or maybe borrow her roo. Your chickens are...

Debbie, I have an EE that did the same thing you're talking about. She laid me around a dozen nice green eggs and then just quit. She hasn't laid an egg for a month. I don't know if she has just quit for the winter or what. I actually have some red chili pepper lights hanging in my coop. They...

Who ever thought that having chickens would be so frustrating at times. I waited and waited for eggs, then I waited for more and yesterday was the most I've had. 9 eggs, and today back to 6. The only thing I can say about that is at least it's not 4. That's where I was at for a long time.

SEH chicks, It's real easy to get discouraged when waiting for eggs. I give my chickens hungry threatening looks and it does no good so patience is it. I finally got on egg from a chicken I bought on Sept. 20 and was told she was laying. I also purchased another chicken same day from the same...

I have a Welsummer that is over 8 months old and she has never laid an egg yet. I have 2 layers that were supposedly laying eggs and I have had them for over a month and neither one has laid an egg yet. I bought two others that laid a few eggs after I got them, actually an Olive Egger laid me...

GG, why did you give the other two away? I'm no authority either but it really is funny how they stick together. Whatever they started with they usually hang with, at least in my flock. I also would say she definitely needs a friend. Do you only have the one chicken?

Julie and Marcy, I waited a long time for eggs some at 8 months old but now they lay me eggs everyday with an occasional break. I am getting 7 eggs a day and they were worth the wait. Sometimes I get a jumbo egg and it's lucky for that chicken only sometimes. It' the biggest egg I have ever...

Rob, You and I are in the same boat. I have 4 red Sex-links and the first one started laying at 23 weeks old and then a week later the second, This was in Aug. The third one laid her first one Oct. 22 at 30 weeks and the last one laid one today. Nov. 3. How do you like that for sporadic? They...

Well, good luck with the new ones that are already laying. I have bought 4 in the last month from two different people and two of them haven't laid an egg yet. Out of the other two one laid one egg, a beautiful dark olive egg and hasn't laid another one since. The other laid four days in a row...

No more waiting on my Buff Orpington. Got my first egg today. I could tell she was getting close. I actually guessed one right. She made two attempts today and laid one on the second try.. It was the largest first egg I have had so far from any of my chickens, an actual large egg. Yayyyy!!

Haha Scott, that's real funny. I am not happy with my EE that has been laying sporadically and then she laid 4 days in a row and I thought oboy I'm going to get eggs from her a lot and now I haven't seen an egg for 5 days. I keep getting more chickens and it's like once they come to my home they...

Well, what breed of chicken do you have? Some breeds lay sooner then others. I think I have the slowest chickens to mature on earth but when I do get an egg they give me some very pretty ones. My New Hampshires that lay give me the prettiest golden brown egg. They lay every day. It took them...

Scott, when you were talking about Rebeca pacing back and forth I knew right away what was going on.Hahahaha, It's funny how no matter how many nests you have they all want to lay in the same one for the most part. Mine do the pacing too and sing the song while waiting. Congrats on your first eggs!

Wow Jharter 5130, you have quite a collection of really unique chickens. Love the brahmas and the Mille fleurs. I like all of what you listed. I have a Buff orpington and a black orpington in my flock. I hope your's lay sooner than mine are which is still not yet and they have to be 7 months...
