    We just found an infected rabbit in the Garden, does anyone know if the Chickens are likely to pick up anything? Thanks for any help Rachael

    looks like they are

    getting the hang of it we have 6 hens since July, no idea when they were hatched, slowly they have started to lay and this morning we had 5 eggs!! im so excited for the last couple of weeks we have had 3-4 eggs a day but it looks as though no.5 has got onto the laying bandwagon

    What time of day do they lay eggs?

    ours lay at different times each day, however each one lays in the same spot each time - they seem to have their favourite laying spots and dont deviate from that

    UPDATE... still no eggs UPDATE #2: 1st squat today

    i feel your pain - we went for months with people making fun of us as we had no eggs yet - we are getting 3-4 a day now and i think we have had the last laugh hope they will lay for you soon!

    overwhelmed with eggs

    ask friends if they are willing to buy any. Im getting 3-4 a day at the moment and yesterday had a dozen in the fridge, I asked a friend if she wanted any and told her they were a bargain as i charged a lower price than the shops. she wants more now lol, im hoping to sell any extras i dont use...

    will eggs be buried in deep litter?

    I have four laying out of 6 hens and they all lay on the floor, its very easy for an egg to dissapear, ive often found one hiding.

    How far back do you go?

    Backyard Buddies - my birthday is in november and my mum bought me a years ancestry.com membership and some credits for the scotlands people site I use Hennysmum - Most of my family originated in the UK and scotland rather than Ireland which has been much easier in finding the info, the UK...
