    Long time since I've been on here. I built a new coop which the girls love! And one of my 6 mth old bantams decided to go broody. I couldn't believe she wanted to sit on eggs so soon. But after several days of camping out on golfbAlls, I moved her to the maternity ward that I built in the new...

    When does egg laying begin?

    I have my nesting boxes ready. But the younger ones want to go dig all the bedding out! Several of the girls combs are red now and are acting different. They aren't squatting yet but they may not? They don't let me hold them much. Can't wait for eggs!

    Thanks danz. I was tripping thinking I could start having eggs and not be prepared. I have stored empty feed bags in the nesting boxes right now to discourage roosting in them. But I will clean them out and start getting them ready anyways.

    Ok a friend of mine posted she got eggs from her 3 month old chickens. Mine are a little over 3 months old. I guess I should get my nesting boxes spruced up??? I thought it's about 6 months when they start to lay... Anyone getting early eggs?? This is all new to me
