    Help! Chicken's haven't started laying eggs! Several questions.

    Doesn't sound like you are doing anything wrong. Chickens lay when they lay. Changing their coop could throw them off a bit. Give them a week or two to adapt to the new coop? Letting them out a little late shouldn't hurt them or their laying. New food may affect them, but again, its just a...

    What breed? Serama or Nankin?

    Thank you all for your responses. I am going to see if I can find someone locally to evaluate. They were sold to me as Seramas. They are a hoot to watch.

    I'm addicted

    It all started with 3, supposedly Golden Buff hatchery chicks from the local nursery. Then I added 2 Black Copper Marans from a farm in the area. Then we discovered one of our Golden Buffs was actually a Cornish Cross Meat Hen. So we had to get a Welsummer to replace the Cornish, because...
