    When did your chickens begin laying eggs?

    UPDATE: 1 Austrolorp laying for 2 weeks now. Started @ 26 weeks old. 1 Easter Egger started 3 days ago. She's 25 weeks old. My Austrolorp gave me eggs consistently 4 days on, 2 off, and now NO EGGS from her for 5 days. Maybe beginning to molt, weather changes...I don't know but she's...

    When did your chickens begin laying eggs?

    As of today they are now 23/26 weeks old. Still no eggs but much more vocal and 2 are doing the egg squat. Can't help thinking the "A watched pot never boils" LOL

    Chickens won't eat whole sunflower seeds

    I just bought a 30lb bag of Sunflower Seeds and mine won't touch them. I'll try breaking a few to see if they decide they like them. But, I'm suspect that I'll be looking for a place to unload a whole lot of seed.

    Powering poultry netting

    I'm interested in the electric poultry netting for expanding my safe zone ranging abilities. I have a livestock high tensile fence next to the coop that's already grounded and highly functional. Any reason I can't just hook up to that for my power source?

    Avian Flu.

    KY is under a ban for Swap Meets and Trade Shows as there is an outbreak in Western KY. I don't have my birds as yet but am hoping to find some for my small backyard coop today. Holding my breath that I get healthy pullets and they stay that way. I found a couple I'd love to have in...
