I live in the same area and wish I would have found this sooner. I hope you've found the problem and were able to remedy it. There isn't a specific thing I could say to help except give love and support. I recently had to put one of my sweet girls down from a severe vent prolapse. I just know...
This is my first group of chickens and they just started laying a couple weeks ago. They were 16 weeks old when they started. One of my four SGs is laying huge eggs. Mostly double yolkers, but yesterday an extra extra jumbo egg. Broke it open for breakfast today and it is a triple! From what I...
The very first egg was teeny tiny and a double yolker. It was a huge surprise. I'll be happy either way. I'm just stoked we started getting eggs this last week. Not regularly, but I'm happy with whatever we can get! All four SGs laid their first eggs between 16 and 17 weeks if that helps anyone...
16 weeks + 2 days, my sassy girl Cersei layed her first egg this morning! Feeling extra happy that it was in a nesting box in the coop and not some random place in the run. This is my first egg EVER. I'm so full of joy!
I'm in the same boat as the OP. I added an extra run to the end, but the coop is way too small. My 6 girls aren't even big breeds, Sapphire Gems and EEs. I am inspired by your idea. Thanking you, even two years after this post was put up, haha.
Sharing your excitement! It's a little early for mine, but I have two 16 week old EEs. 4 sapphire gems should be laying any day. I've been seeing owners post that their SGs are laying 16 to 17 weeks. They are a hybrid so I'm pretty sure they'll lay on the early end of the spectrum. Feeling...
I've got two EEs. I'm so glad I can tell them apart, only because Kevin has a black beard and Potpie has an orange-y-ish one lol. Your babes are beauties. I love seeing pics. Mine are 11 weeks in a couple days. How old were yours when they started laying?
My girl there is one of four SGs I have. Shree is right in the middle on the color spectrum. I have another darker grey one and two that are a little lighter than her. They will be 11 weeks on Friday the 6th.
