Hatching
Hey everybody,
I have two orpingtons that lay an egg about every 25 hours.
This summer, we got half breed baby chicks, that were half buff orpington and half some smaller chicken.
4 of them grew up to be healthy chickens and are laying an egg everyday. But they do it at 7am every single day - and scream their lungs out when they do it. I am in a city area and am so nervous about neighbours getting agitated - I have tried to bribe them with eggs, but am afraid what will happen in the summer when the chickens get up at 4-5am.
I was hoping their egg laying would move over to later in the day. But no! Is it really possible they have a 24 hour cycle?
Thanks so much,
Sanne
