    One of my two EEs has started to lay, will the other start soon?

    My flock consists of two EEs, two silver laced wyandottes, and two barred rocks. The smaller of the two EEs (and the smallest of the flock) laid her first egg in the run yesterday and then again today in the same place at the same time. The pullets are 21 weeks old. Should I expect the other...

    5 hens now legal in city limits Alton, Illinois!

    Here in Amherst NY, we just passed an amendment to allow a "special use" permit for 6 chickens. Filing fee is $125 and the permit is renewable in 2 years. Steep, yes but this is a tremendous first step in allowing backyard chickens in an otherwise very conservative community.
