Hi they are 3 to 4 months. I have tried to snap a quick pic the best I can just now. I'll upload

Hey are they kept outside or inside? I've read they usually need at least 14 hours of light exposure a day to keep them laying. I dunno about where you are but here in Colorado we're only getting about 9 hours of daylight lately. Might want to see about adding an artificial light source for them.

X2. Mine quit laying by the end of October, I put a light on a timer on them, it took about three weeks but they are all laying pretty good again.

I gave some to a friend south of me, they were just maturing about that time, pretty close to the same age as yours, and they did not start laying at all until he put a light on them. So birds maturing just as the autumn hits may require a light to get going or wait until the Spring comes.

On the subject of water drinkers, I ordered one that turned out enormous. . So my man made one for me from a pump style water bottle...the ones with the pull out top and screwed a peanut butter plastic jar lid through the centre, it works on the vacumm/gravity feed system and they really like it! Great when I first moved them to the brooder.
Just tried to add photo but spat me out.
The lid is shallow enough to be safe too

I would love to see a picture of this. I wonder if there's a way around the uploading problem?

If they won't upload straight away put them on photobucket and upload the URL.

 

[teradragon]

I put mine in a private album on facebook then right click on the picture, copy url then use that to add an image...

I still can't get round the up load problem as I am using a mobile phone. Can someone let me know when the upload problem is fixed
