Good to hear my chickens aren't "broken." haha
I'm definitely learning a lot more. I did a ton of research over the years knowing I'd eventually get chickens but unfortunately, the research doesn't help much. Everything I've read on "average time" has been wrong for my flock. I'm learning that "average" varies widely.
For example, everyone I know who had chickens told me they start laying at 18 weeks, sometimes earlier. Ha! Not a single egg from my 6 different breeds and they're the same age as the cockerel.
