My Columbian hens are starting to lay. 1 pullet too. Too early to have chicks in Iowa with my set up. I hate to waste eggs from my best birds so will probably set some soon. I doubt many are fertile with the feather dusters I raise. Strange how my best bird last year was the 2nd egg I hatched and none after that matched her. Sent in my entry for the Northeast Poultry Congress show in Springfield Mass next month. It is a long way but my son only lives 90 miles from the show. Won't go if weather makes it unsafe to go.
