Thats pretty cool, you got free chickens that are already laying eggs.
Where are you located? The way you spelled color (colour) is what has me asking.
Australia...
the chooks were free because the people who had them are tight and they wernt eating all the eggs and couldn't justify...
and im sorry, i dont know how old they are because i got them from a friend.
they were clueless about them...
they got treated appallingly. 'just animals' was the term he used.
I have 3 chooks... i've had them about 2 or 3 weeks and they have only just started laying 3 days ago. i've gotten 2 eggs a day for three days running... so im thinking that 1 of them isnt laying.
i have only caught one laying, and it is the one of the younger ones...
im just curious if im...
hi
I've had my first 3 chickens for 2 weeks now... and instead of dumby eggs, i have hollowed out some eggs and filled them with sand.
yesterday morning i noticed that one of the eggs had been broken and moved from its place...
is this a problem?
and ALSO...
what age do chickens stop...
thanks for all your help...
you were all so fast.
i really want some happy chicken = ]
and...
who finds what treats best? i find my hens are a little resistant to most of the scraps im feeding them? possibly because they havnt been fed them before?
but! in saying that... they love...
yeah... they are old enough.. i used to get eggs every now and then from my mate..
they were always quite small though (they are isabrowns)... and the yolks wernt a rich colour.
but when he gave them to me he said that he wasnt getting eggs... but a while ago his neighbor was stealing them...
i got 3 hens 5 days ago and they havnt started laying yet... so im wondering how long it might take?
i got these hens from a guy i know.. and they havnt been treated well... they havnt been let out of their cage at all, given no scraps to eat, just poor quality seed mixed with some laying...
