It's December and my 7 month old light Brahma and EE have not started laying eggs yet. Can I blame this on slowly maturing chickens or short winter days? My good friend adopted a Brahma and EE from the same batch and has been getting eggs for a month or two...hmmm...Thanks in advance!

Thanks for all the informative replies everyone! That makes me feel better about these noisy chicks!

I'm a first time chicken owner and I have a two 5 week-old Australorps that make lots of sqeaky, peeping noises when it starts getting dark out. Is this normal chicken sunset behavior??

Thanks for the info!

Do you know if there are behavioral differences at this age?

Can anyone tell me whether this is an Australorp pullet or roo?

Thank you! I'm new at this :)

Can anybody tell whether this 3-week-old Australorp chick is male or female?
