    Frederick, MD. Welsummer Laying Hen needs new home!

    Hi there, Im in Frederick MD looking to re-home my female Welsummer "Zuma". She is about 2 years old, lays a light brown spotted egg daily or every other day, and currently lives with 2 Easter Eggers. She is happy and healthy and the only reason we are re-homing her is because she is mildly...

    Will they lay in winter if they havent yet?

    This may be a silly question but Ive read a lot about when hens start laying and they fall/winter "lay off" so to speak. I have 3 hens, 2 EEs (that stands for 'Easter Egger, right? Still learning lol) and 1 Welsummer. They are 25 weeks old and only 1 EE is laying. As its already pretty cold in...

    Yes Ive added netting to the top of the already existing fence so it would be over 6 feet tall. We left a few spaces open as the neighbor kids and my kids hop over back and forth to play... darned if those chickens did not find the only open spots within a few hours to hop over as well. lol...
