    I’ve got 3 ladies that I acquired in March as few day olds. They’ve been nothing but sweet, beautiful little perfect chickens! One has started laying just a few days ago. 7 eggs in a row every day like clockwork. Not bad for August in East TX where it’s hot. I have fans to ventilate and lots of...
