I have 6 Barnies, they did start laying at about 28 weeks, but that is not an issue with me. Most of my poultry did. They don't lay the really dark eggs, but they are large, dark brown and some...

Leghorn

Leghorns are great egg laying chickens. They are friendly to other Leghorns and can easily fly. The only problems is that they are bad in the pecking order and they can make a mess of the yard....

jumpy

Thanks so much for posting these pictures. MY BO, Loko, is sitting on 6 eggs (brown and green) and is on day 11.
I haven't candled at all because I don't have a bright enough flashlight, plus I'd have to do it at night pulling the eggs from under her.
This is great cuz I can see what stage the eggs could be at.

Thanks!!! thumbsup

jumpy Come on chickies!

I love the pics at the beginning of the thread, great for a first time candler to see what they are looking for, very clear!

Good luck with the remainder of your hatch!
