I have 5 Buff Orpingtons and 3 Barred Rock hens that will be 2 yrs old this coming Mother's Day. We get 1 or 2 eggs a day, sometimes no eggs, and then there will be 6 eggs. Are my ladies getting to the end of their egg laying days?
Thanks for any insight.
10/24/10 update - no eggs since 10/21/10 until today! BAM - 3 eggs today!
10/21/10 update - Came home for lunch today and this is what I found!
10/20/10 update - No eggs today.
10/19/10 - Came home for lunch break today to see if perhaps we might have an egg, as the gals squat...
I have 2 white Silkie chicks that were given to me. They have a black Silkie dad and a white Silkie mom. What are the chances that my 2 chicks are pullets?
I am new to BYC as of a few minutes ago. My coop and flock will arrive on May 27th - 2 Rhode Island Reds, 2 Barred Rocks and 2 Golden Comets. These breeds were suggested by some of my friends who are already chicken owners. Any advice sent my way will be GREATLY appreciated!
