Hi I have 25 chicks 12 buff orps and 13 rsl they are all 17 weeks on Monday as of today no eggs but the 13 rsl combs are getting red so i should see eggs from them soon the buff orps are showing no signs of red combs yet i'll let you know when the first egg arrives oh and i just put them on...
Aww i didn't see that or i would have got a hold of you
not to worry i'm sure i'll find one somewhere
