    Squatting to laying... time frame?

    Yup, just about 2 weeks after squat they lay. Out of 8 girls hatched in August, only 6 are squatting and/or laying, so I'm hoping soon the other two start working! It will happen soon. YOu will get a long pointy egg and know it was the first one!

I do want to eat it, but not yet...maybe after the novelty of it has worn off! Anyways here are some pictures...

    How do you age a chicken?

    Can you post pictures of their face? Also, are they laying yet? Why are you doubtful? Do they look older? We got a barred rock that looks OLDDDDDDDd, like almost dirt old, but we were told she was a pullet about 4-5 months old. She doesn't look it. But recently she is starting to show us signs...
