I did a recount of my hens. I have 15, not 14.
Das is Good. More eggs when they start to lay.

I have six hens, four are just over 2 months old and the other two are about a month. They are funny birds, independent but like to keep you in sight when free ranging. They know when its time for bed and go in as a flock. We have one that was sexed at birth as a girl but is red not dark and gold like her sisters, she looks like a girl and acts like a girl. They like to torment the geese by running in between them and around them. The two babies stay with me and come running if we call for them, the older ones will come if you call out the biggest hen's name or call for the geese lol.

This is my cockerel "Biele Bob" he's roughly 19 weeks old now and so far seems to be a good boy. How does he fit to the SOP? Then I have Harmony and Starla and who are both 23 weeks old. Harmony is the lighter breasted of the two and is my talker whenever I spend time in their pen.

I wonder if anyone who is following this thread has the bantam Bielefelder? Bantams are often a whole lot different as the normal sized (mixed with other bantam breeds).
What is your experience in production? Do they lay in winter as wel? What is their behaviour?

My birds are now seven months. The hens are starting to lay eggs. Of which the eggs are not too large yet. These birds are suppose to lay an extra large egg. Maybe some more time to mature. With 15 hens and two roosters its interesting to see who is boss!

They'll get larger, it just takes some time. Mine are finally laying full-size eggs at 8 months. I even got a double yolker the other day!!!
