Very impressive, I wish I had access to such a breeding line. Although the hatchery quality ones lay quite proficiently, they just do not have the same impressive features as a breeder quality ones.
She doesn't seem like she's Broody, no aggressive behavior or puffing up. She doesn't go there for long. One more curious behavior trait is that when I go inside to try to pet her she squats like all my laying hens, yet no eggs abound. Now I don't mind at all that she might be resting for a...
My two-year-old white leghorn has been laying consistently and prolifically for two straight years, winter included(with supplemental lighting). Suddenly one day she just stopped. It's been more than a month now that I haven't seen a single egg. She is not molting, doesn't seem particularly...
My six chickens haven't slowed down at all during the winter. I do have supplemental lighting for them, but the amazing thing is that they're all molting and are still laying at the same rate. That is absolutely amazing to me. I however do take very good care of them.
I'm in Henry IL, the temperature is 3 degrees but feels like -11. The chickens are doing well, this is my second year of keeping chickens. Last year was difficult winter, trial and error trying what works and what doesn't but this year was much easer. I had everything prepared ahead of time and...
Yeah the chicken is kind of small too I thought the golden laced Wyandot would be bigger, this one kind of turned out to be small. Maybe it will mature later on. It could've been my fault because for the first month or so I gave it gamebird starter with a very high protein content that...
Well it would not devastate me if they didn't start laying at 22 weeks, but it would be nice. I am only basing this on my previous years batch. I had three leghorn a road Island red and the barred rock. The Laghorn started laying at 20 weeks which we will exclude from this comparison...
With the redness of the comb and wattels the indications are that it might start laying soon. Forgive me but I think you're wrong or I hope you're wrong.
