Quote: I suppose 6 months isn't that old, it just seemed alot longer than the Minorca we got at the same time, and they were roughly the same age, the Minorca has been layer four 2 months, maybe they are 7 or 8 months old, harder to remember time nowadays.

Hi there, good news this week, after several months, Betty has finally started laying, she is at least 6months old, however better late than never.

Hi there keepers, it seems Nancy has gone broody again, I didn’t expect her to do that in the wettest part of winter, I thought her maternal instinct would tell her that this isn’t the right time of year to bringing chicks into the world?. is this common?

Minorca

Hi there keepers, just a quick post to ask that question really. Can you change, or I should say tint the colour of the eggs, by feeding the hens coloured food? The reason I ask this somewhat strange question is that, I noticed today that manuella's eggs had a slight pink tinge to them, and it...

A happy easter to one and all, this is the time of year when the egg is held in high regard, new beginnings, I hope yours go well.

Thanks for the replies and reassurance, enjoying the little ones while I can.
