    Egg Eggsperts? :)

    Alright so I went out to my coop yesterday and found a really cool and just assumed it was from my maran. She just recently started laying so she's not on a regular schedule yet and for the same reason, I didn't think much when this egg was in a different box than she has laid all the others...

    Are Double Yolkers Everyday Harmful?

    Awesome, that's good to know! They're super fun to see but not at the cost of her health so thanks for the info!!! I've gotten five double yolkers from the other girls in the short time they have been laying, maybe she's trying to one up them :)

    Are Double Yolkers Everyday Harmful?

    My barred rocks are 25 weeks old today and have been laying for just over six weeks. For the past almost two weeks, they have all been laying an egg a day. Anyway, my smallest girl has been laying a double yolker daily and although I know there isn't anything I can really do to stop that, I'm...

    Who else is waiting for that first egg?

    Well we're two weeks into laying at my house and my barred rocks are 20 weeks old. Four out of the six are laying and the fifth will be any day now. My little "Bloom" is a late bloomer and is just barely getting a comb! The mature rate really varied between my six, so just hang in there if you...

    Who else is waiting for that first egg?

    It's finally here! One of my 18 week old barred rocks laid her first! She's been squatting for about a week and first took an interest in a nesting box yesterday evening. She laid this sometime this late morning/ early afternoon! Now I have three others squatting whenever I get near them so I...

    Ladies!!!! No eggs yet but one of my girls has been laying alone in the coop all day today. Its hot so I've had the door propped open and I was shocked to see her in there because all the other girls were hanging out in the barn! Do you think she's getting ready to lay an egg?!?!

    I'm far from a pro but from what little I can see of their faces, they look like mine did at about 13 weeks. I have six barred rocks and they are changing daily! My girls at almost 15 weeks The girls today at exactly 16 weeks

    Who else is waiting for that first egg?

    Oh my, I hope I survive another four weeks of waiting lol. Congratulations!! Did they act any differently or indicate they were going to lay? My girls are free range all day but go in and out of the coop and then are locked in from about 7pm - 7 am. I'm hoping they use the nesting boxes and...

Thankfully we have this site, eachother, and a way to connect!! I have six 15 week old barred rocks that are...
