I figured it was stress and the season and their age. I'm not that upset, but Drew put a golf ball in one of their nests and it tricks me every time! Lol The first time I saw it, I literally gasped and said "oooh yay an egg!" But it was just a golf ball.

fl.gif It being as late as it is, it can take up to 4 extra weeks for them to start laying. I think you will get some from them in the next couple of weeks.

I saw a story today--a snake ate the golf ball and skipped the eggs. The person thought it was because the golf ball smelled more like "chicken" since it had been in the nest longer.

edited to add: We ran these off of regular water pressure with the pressure regulator to reduce it down to a low pressure system. But, I think you could just as easily use a barrel or large bucket for a low pressure water tank system. I also put a concrete block as a step up so the smaller chicks can hop up and drink.

 

 

Nice watering system. Mine have not figured out how to work them. Silly chickens...

 

how much are those cup waterers?  I was thinking about trying those in my one coop that doesn't already have the auto water system in it

BTW, i am being a total post hog but I haven't sat down on this site in almost a week and really got to read through things.  Anyway, today I got 5 Cream legbar eggs, 4 yesterday and 4 the day before.  pretty sure all the girls are starting up.  it was like the egg drought was broken today.  All my BLRWs lay so I got 6 eggs there and just about everything else that normally lays, lay today.  Hoping this is the new normal and molting is over!
