well ive been away for 2 wks & i get back & one of my pullets has laid her 1st eggs. 3 in total now i caught her laying yesterday, im soo happy. hopefully the other pullet isnt far away from starting either. which means winter eggs..

he must be around 28-29 wks the girls are getting bigger redder combs everyday so im just waiting for the first eggs from them.

here is a video of boobs, his crowing has improved somewhat but still sounds funny.

yea here in new zealand we are at the start of autumn & i can def tell the temp diff now. they are roughly about 26 weeks old there is a pic of them taken a couple of days ago pg 41, post 412 one is getting closer she has grown a comb & wattles & is quite red compared to the other pullet.

i have silver grey dorks but dont know the color of the eggs yet im still waiting for them to start. which may not be for a while although 1 is showing signs of being close to starting but im currently at the end of our laying season.
