    3 8-Month-Old Laying Hens Need a Home, Central Florida

    Due to our unplanned relocation, my three pet ladies need a new home. They are a Gold Star, a Barred Rock and a Black Australorp. Great girls, but I can't take them with me back to Canada!

    5 month old hen possessive of eggs.... Everybody's eggs!

    At first, I thought Chocolate, a (suspected) Black Australorp might be getting broody, but her behavior doesn't seem to match. She's my lowest producer, laying around 4 a week. Her coop mate Pepper, BR, lays 5-6 a week and her other buddy Cinnamon, Red Comet, lays 7/week, often with a double...

    Post your FIRST EGG pics!

    (BA) Chocolate's very first egg at 21.5 wks is on the right. I was starting to call her Choco-LATE cuz it's been 2 weeks since her Red Star "sister " of the same age dropped her first egg.
