    Help me with winter!

    Son my 6 girls, 2 are Buffs and 4 are RiR, and about 9 months old. I live in the upper Midwest where it can be a harsh winter, and have been getting 5-6 eggs a day and such. I am wondering if they will molt this winter? Do I need to hear their night time area? I have a heated dog waterer...

    Ummm....

    Most of all their combs and wattles are bright red. The two BOs hunker down or crouch as you said when touched on the back. I have not examined their vents....

    Ummm....

    My 2 BOs and 4 RIRs are about 20 weeks. Over the past 3 weeks, I have received a total of 4 eggs. Should this be cause for concern, or will they all start popping out the eggs regularly, soon?

    what are the biggest factors to make hens lay eggs?

    4 RIRs and 2BOs for me. They're about 19 weeks old. I have plucked 3 total eggs in the last 3 weeks. I don't know which ones are producing the eggs, but should I be concerned, or is this normal production for these breeds and their age?

    18-19 weeks.

    Is it getting close?!

    I posted this when I got my first egg 3 days ago. I am not sure when it was laid, but I am yet to get another egg since I found this one. Should I be concerned?

    Is it getting close?!

    Does this mean that I can expect at least one to be having eggs from here on out?

    Is it getting close?!

    Ironically, I hadn't checked the nesting area for a few days, just went and looked and found an egg. I just started them on layer feed 2 days ago. What I had read here and elsewhere is that 18 weeks was an appropriate age to begin layer feed.

    Is it getting close?!

    I have 2 Buffs and 4 RIR all 18 weeks old. Should I be expecting that first egg any time soon?

    What on earth do I have?

    Can some folks Look at my photo album and tell me how many hens and how many Roos I have? I was supposed to have 6 hens, and they are now 15 weeks old. Please help! For some reason, I can't upload the pictures to the thread.
