Thanks. Mine are about 12 weeks now. And they did come from production birds. I figured they would lay more like 18-20 weeks, glad I asked the experts.
I must say, they are hilarious running around the yard.
I ended up keeping 5 girls and 1 boy. The male is half light brahma, and one of the...

Yea, that's what I'm thinking. With just those 2 breeds, even though she had them all together, the cross babies should be obvious. Local lady just sells eggs, all she cared about was white and brown. She actually got rid of the roosters about a week before I got eggs, so...

Getting rid of the ads is worth the price of the PFM alone. I tried going without it for a few days when mine expired last week. The damn ads make the pages load way too slow for me. So I cough up the money. :hmm
