    Congrats on first hatch. We got our first hatch of 5 almost 7 weeks ago from Colleen, our year old GLW. She has nurtured all 5 she hatched to this point and dropped her first egg yesterday since going broody, the same day that we heard the first crow coming from the babies. They are in an...

    Been keeping a daily log since October and March was our best month so far. Average for the month was 23.xxx per day from 32 birds. At this point I am fairly satisfied with 75% rate. Still have to root out the intermittant egg eater in a mixed group of 10 ladies and a roo which should bump it up...

    24/32 yesterday even without adding artificial light. At least 22 of them are under 1 year of age so I decided to let them just do what they do.

    I would be inclined to believe that your girls may be hoodwinking you. Someone decided that where you found the eggs was a good spot and others followed suit.

    A second cockerel showed himself over the last couple days in our mixed flock 13 of which we had thought there was only Jimmy. Time to add another pen and split the 34 ladies out amongst the 3 fellas. After 3 weeks of settling in together, the 11 hens in the adult pen are getting regular...

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    I had a 17 year old make an interesting observation. Since it is practically all yolk, that was almost a double yolk in a full-sized shell. It came out of a pen of adult birds but it was suggested that it could be a First egg. After thinking about it, I am inclined to agree with the kid. Either...

    This is what I found in one of the nest boxes this morning. It was buried deep in pine shavings and straw and I was more than a little surprised to even find it while digging around for eggs.
