EEs due to start laying any day now

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 

My EEs are now 24 weeks old.  Any chance this summer's awful heat will delay the onset of their laying?  I've been looking forward to their eggs for some time now.

Are their combs red and plump? Are they confined to where you know they are not hiding a nest under some shrubbry?

Well, the kittens aren't so cute anymore and the easter egger cockerels are in the freezer. Plus, I think offering them as "prizes" scared folks off! So, I'm still posting quotes, if you know it let me know. I'm very enamored of this new one, it may hang around for a while!

Yes - plump combs (I'll post a picture tomorrow), and the ground on their run is flat.

EEs tend to start late mine started last year at about 30 weeks.

I don't get better with age, only more confused(ing).
