    The Dom who layed is 20 weeks but my BA is 22 and no dice yet. I haven't gotten another egg from the Dom either unless she is hiding them in the yard. Ive been looking around and havent seen one.

    That WAS a great answer. The boys had lost interest in the chickens but this has perked them back up. It is a great lesson for them in hard work, patience and delayed gratification. That plus the smiles are definitely worth every penny. :) Thanks to everyone for celebrating with us. ;)

    Does anyone in the Lowcountry/Charleston area order organic layer feed or, even better, know of a local place to buy it? I have searched high and low so I would really appreciate any tips if you've got them!

    After EIGHT MONTHS of having chickens and on our second flock we finally got our first egg! Happy day! PS - RedBugPoultry - It was our Dominique that laid first. I was surprised because she is two weeks younger than the Australorp and was showing fewer signs. The Australorp has full...

    Welcome Naturemoma! I am in Charleston also. There is a lady on Johns Island who hatches but is not starting back up until March. Also, RedBugPoultry on this thread is a wonderful, kind person (not to mention a wealth of knowledge) who just sold us some Austrolorp and Dominique chicks. If...

    Hi SC friends I was hoping to get some advice from y'all about the floor of my coop. I have a swingset converted into a coop that sits on regular suburban backyard ground. With my first flock, I started with dirt and it was just hard and compacted and got smelly quickly so I ended up putting...

    Ameraucanas? Hens or Cockerels?

    Thanks for the sympathy guys! I appreciate it. I have been going back and forth over whether to hang onto them and wait to see or go ahead and let them go and start over. Since no one seems to think that there is any chance of a pullet from either of them it looks like moving on is the...
