Here's a better photo of my Harlow

So close!!! Could be any day now!

Do you have other laying hens? Mine all lay in the same box so im sure she just followed along with the "rules" of the flock lol

she's a polish/leghorn. And Yes inside the nesting box.

I have a screaming silkie lol. She just doesn't like to be disturbed while laying. Totally normal.

I live in WA state and it rains here 80%of the year (sarcasm, I'm not sure how often it really rains, but it's a lot) my chickens are always roaming in the rain so i think its safe to assume the mist you set up is fine for them.

We got our first egg 3 days ago. She hatched Nov. 5th

My little Hercules the silkie roo is such a sweet boy. I had an easter egger and polish though that were aweful! He went thru a short phase in his teens trying to figure out his life but he's about a year now and is really good to his ladies and doesn't attack people. He tries to dance for the...

I found thday most of my chickens started laying around 6 months. Even my leghorn (which is supposed to be an early layer) was 24 weeks before she laid.

My silkies are actually really good layers when they aren't broody. About 5 eggs a week each. Between being young, the short cold months and moving to a new environment it's probably thrown her out of wack. Give her some time, she'll cone around. Also, if she went broody before you got her...

I haste 2 pullets hatched 11/5 in the hatch-a-long My leghorn/ polish And my unknown barnyard mix Neither have laid yet

Oh hmm maybe. It was right after they ate and i just went to check on her and doesn't look like shes doing it anymore.

I don't know, maybe a mild case of it... het head doesn't flop astound and she sends to style habe balance. Her neck just does to want to stay centered.

Thanks for your quick reply!! Googling wry neck now!

I have a silkie whose neck kinda slides to the right when she looks up. Resets her head back to center and it slides back over. I rescued her a month ago and, of course, just brought her out of quarentine. Its not something i noticed until now, but its possible i over looked it with her being...

They are my only 2 welsummers. I have olive eggers in with them and they are about as big as the larger wellie. They are about the same ages.

It takes a lot of patience

I picked 2 with the darkest V and eye liner lol.. and you are correct that they are at the same feathering stages. When i got them they were the same size. The one grew a lot faster and freaked me out a bit. Tho i hear if I'm going to have a rooster, welsummers are pretty tame...

Thank you! Chick seems lively and well other than being small and seems to have good access to the feed. They could possibly be a day or two difference but by 2 weeks you wouldn't be able to tell. I didn't think about different genetics! I'll just keep a close watch and we'll see what happens lol

I know typically this would be an indication of the larger being a cockerel. But these are welsummers and the males typically don't have the eyeliner or V markings on there heads. These chicks are also sexed from a hatchery (i know it's still not 100%accurate).. their feathering seems to be...
