    If you knew then what you know now...

    Any guess on how long until she starts laying? White Leghorn Hen

    Our Buff Leghorns are approaching 21 weeks old and no eggs. Talk about a one-way street?!! Some combs and wattles are red, others aren't. One henny penny was pitching a fit about a week ago but no egg action. They are all free ranging and I check all the possible egg hiding sites but so far...
