It's December and my 7 month old light Brahma and EE have not started laying eggs yet. Can I blame this on slowly maturing chickens or short winter days? My good friend adopted a Brahma and EE from the same batch and has been getting eggs for a month or two...hmmm...Thanks in advance!
I'm a first time chicken owner and I have a two 5 week-old Australorps that make lots of sqeaky, peeping noises when it starts getting dark out. Is this normal chicken sunset behavior??
