My small flock of 4 ISA Brown pullets just turned 16 weeks old today! Does anyone know when I can expect them to start laying eggs? One of them squats when I pick her up, if that means anything.

My dad and I built this chicken run with 10 t-posts and 2 in. by 4 in. wire mesh. In the future, we will build a mobile chicken coop to dock at present wooden door opening.
I just wanted to write some info here about my chickens to make everyone's day, so here are my four little hen's biographies:

Bertha has always been the biggest and toughest chicken in my...
Hey all,
So I got this chick and a second out of the ISA Brown bin at TSC, they are 6 weeks now. They were both red as chicks. The other chick turned the usual brown, while this one is cream with brown. I know that a White ISA adult typically means Roo, but im really not sure about this one. It...
