Hi Friends! We have been trying to stay busy with the Stay Home rule, and have been watching our new Young hens, bought the week before the Stay-Home order was issued. Were told they were 3 to 4 months old, and expected they would start laying in 6 to 8 weeks. Well, this week we started getting "practice" eggs. One is an Extra-Large, another is a Large, and the others have been small, what I call practice eggs.
