I did actually. Got distracted and didnt feel like correcting it.

They're not picky although 2×3 to 2x4 may be more comfy for larger hens.

Heres nhr Gretchen. Hatched May 5th so shes a lil over 29 weeks. I made a bet with myself that she would be the first to lay of my 6 birds but her sis Gretchen and 3 other white leghorns are laying before her. Shes been the dominant hen since day one but as far as laying shes a dud...For now.

So far I get 4 eggs a day from 6 hens. Im waiting for 2 others to lay. I havent sold any yet but I have mailed a couple dozen to my mother and brother. They love the idea of knowing whats goin' into their eggs. If or when I decide to sell eggs, I may stamp them. Of course the stamp will be 100%...

I have a few pullets and two young roosters in town. About nine weeks old actually. Fortunately I have a makeshift coop and some land to send the roos(and pullets) to. Question: How long before they start crowing?

Three of my four white leghorns started laying a week ago and during tha time I got small eggs from all. This morning I got a huuuge egg. Will they all soon lay the large egg, small egg or will it vary? Which size Im I lookin' at down the road?

A seed block, veggie tether and or scattered chicken scratch should "program" them to stop the pecking and use energy elsewhere. Worked for me. Btw for my tether i changed the veggie/fruit from cucumber, to lettuce, to an apple, etc. Healthy and fun!:thumbsup

My gals dust bathe like its their job. Like they wear watches lol. Literally at the same times of the day, same dirt holes same vigor. Oddly humorous.

Just compared egg laying ability to strengthen nhr stock.

So far my NHR is as consistent as my leghorn. Although I dont have substantial data yet because they are new layers. So far the nhr has laid an egg 7 of 7 days. The leghorn 3 of 3 days but layed 2 eggs one of the days. Nhr eggs are a bit larger. We all know legs are prolific egg layers so i used...

Man my NH red just started laying 6 days ago and a leghorn 3 days ago. The both has laid an egg a day. Both birds eggs are tiny. Epsecially the leghorns. After reading this thread i assume they get bigger for both. Top row are store bought, middle row are reds and the bottom is the legs.

Helps raise caution..

Was the question directed at me?

Hildagard! 24 weeks. Not laying yet.
