23 weeks...starting to lay

[Rafter 7 Paint Horses]

I threatened my pullets last week that they were going to be sold at First Monday Trades Day at the end of the month if they didn't start laying.

Well, Tuesday I went out to check & found 1 little pullet egg!!! Wed. there were 2, Thurs. 1 egg, Today 2 again!!!

Sometimes you just gotta get tough with them!!!! LOL

Now I just need to remind the other 137 of them about First Monday.

Yep,some times you do have to get tough with them, just like kids!!

BTW: Love the pic of your Paint, my daughter loves paint horses!!

 

[Rafter 7 Paint Horses]

Yup, just like kids...gotta keep them in line!!! LOL

Thanks for compliment on the horse pic. We kept one of his daughters that was born this year, & she is going to be a looker when she grows up. She is shedding her baby hair now & looks nice & slick in spots & fluffy in others. Can't wait for her to finish shedding, then I'll post pics of her.

Can't wait to see pics!! My daughter really wants a paint! We have a QH and a TB. There's just something about a horse that has a variety in it's color, I love the markings that paints have!! Someday, I will have one!!

Here is a pic of a few of the different eggs from my pullets.
My Ameraucana's have finally starting to lay.
The Jumbo egg is not a double yolker, we had it for breakfast this morning, just 1 huge yolk.

Rafter since it worked for you, can you come have a chat with my hens? 25 hens, 18 weeks old, not a single egg yet! Yesterday, I thought I was getting one for sure, had a hen who stayed in the chicken house, she was standing up, squating down, standing up, squating down, over and over and squawking like crazy, but no egg.

I need everyone to send me 'egg dust' to make some good luck. LOL.

LOL! I told my girls today it was either going to be Omlettes or Chicken for dinner this weekend. We'll see how that works out!

Hey, I want some "egg-dust" too!
Mine are 24 weeks old and still no eggs!

They're spoiled, guess I'm going to have to get tough.

BEAUTIFUL EGGS! I LOVE Those colors!

Thanks,
The colors didn't show as good as they looked. 2 of them are blue & one is a blue-green.
The brown eggs are either from my Delawares, Dominique's, or the Sex Links.

I'm getting a little over 5 dozen eggs a day now.
