Two almost five months bantam wyandott silver laced. I got them a month ago. I haven't seen an egg yet.
Two mixed RIR/EE, are about three months old.  Not yet.
I did see that they are making circles in their shavings in the coop.  I was wondering if that was some nesting behavior.
The end piece that is going on the coop and has the laying boxes, is still in the works. Maybe that is why. No nest boxes yet.
Hubby is insulating that whole box and it is big enough for them all to get in and out of wind, rain and snow and cold.  It will have a roost in it and three nesting boxes for our current four hens, lol.

Great Hubby, 9 adult children, four birth and five adopted,.  Love birds! Raise Green Cheek Conures.

Love my chickens!! Serama's, silkies and a variety of other bantams and EE mixes.

Love the Lord!!!  Trust Him for everything!! He is so good!
