When I was brought up, my parents always got onto me if I didn't say yes ma'ma or sir. Since I used it so much thats how I always talk to my elders. I think it is a sign of respect, but yes if they wish not to be called ma'ma or sir, then respect them and don't say it. But never just say yeah...
How old do they have to be to start laying regularly? I have a rooster and a hen. My hen since I got her has only layed one egg and that was about three weeks ago. Also how much space do they need for a home. Pictures will help. Please and thank you.
