Agreed that we may not get the exact number of eggs per day but we haven't gotten an egg from our Buff since she laid the 2 Dbl Yolks in the ladder rung sometime between the 3rd and the 6th. I'm sure that she is laying somewhere but just don't know where. She has laid in the nesting box but...

My husband and I love our chicks too and I'm pretty sure they are very fond of us. They are like children in so many ways. Tonight one of our chicks, the one we call Nattie who talks all the time, ended up with a fly trap attached to her wing and her neck. As I walked outside to lock them in...

I partially agree with your statement that the chicks may roost at the highest point and they do huddle together in cool or cold weather to keep warm, especially at a very young age, but in our TEXAS July evening heat, this is not the case with our chicks since they're almost fully matured. As...

Just to let you know... we looked in on our chicks tonight, as we were preoccupied when it got dark, and the chicks were already in the coop on their roost. We wanted to make sure that they were all safe inside so we peeked through the window by their roost. You mentioned making some more...

We didn't take our nests out, we just sealed them off at the chick entry into the nests.

Actually my hubby and I had reconciled ourselves to the fact that we might not see an egg for 5-7 months, as some had said, so we were extatic when we found the 1st egg along the fence in the run at what was actually 17 weeks 1 day, not the 12 weeks I mis-canculated by not counting thru the end...

We have a couple of chicks that love to stay together and away from the group most of the time. One of them talks, talks, talks almost constantly throughout the day. To my knowledge, not one of the girls sing their "just laid an egg song" but our rooster, Buffie, crows and he even cackles just...

Yesterday, 2 of ours laid softies from their 3 tier removable roost which is about 36" off the coop floor. One busted and the other survived hiting the shavings below. Don't know whether or not the height of yours could deter them from laying in their boxes but if your chicks lay an egg that...

Mine lay morning or afternoon and possible evening but... not sure of that.

Mine are actually 17 weeks and 2 days today. I did a miscalculation by not counting through the end of June. Guess I was so excited that they started laying earlier than I had heard and read I didn't count correctly. As of today, July 3, all chicks seem to be laying as we got 7 eggs today...

Thank you wilbilt, for catching my error. You are very correct. I guess that I was just so excited to finally get eggs that I didn't calculate correctly. I started with the 1st of March and ended with the 1st of June rather than the 1st of July. And thank you Fred's Hens for your comment...

Believ e it or not...ours started laying at 12 weeks. We purchased our 1-2 day old chicks from Tractor Supply on March 1, 2012. We got our 1st egg this past Friday, June 29 and we got 4 more eggs today, July 1. We have 1 Buff Orph and 6 Sexlinks with 1 Buff rooster. I don't know for sure...
