I'm trying chia seed mixed with water as an egg replacement in my GF bread machine recipe. Last time it turned out very gluey. This time I used 3 T chia with 3/4 C water.

The hens are getting close to molting, and the pullets aren't laying yet. I'm getting ready to have fewer eggs, so we'll see if I can make GF bread without them and have it be acceptable.

I'll report on the results. I'll have to eat the results too.

Sally PB, You are too funny. Will be looking for your report. Have fun. Aria

We are on parallel tracks. Time to start freezing some eggs since my pullets most likely won't lay until mid Nov or later.

Well here's the report. Total failure. I rarely throw stuff I make out, but this is goo in the middle. So I baked it a whole second bake cycle, for a total of 2 hours. It is still goo in the middle. It now resides in the compost pile.

I guess I'll be buying eggs this weekend. We might get enough for weekend breakfasts, but I want to make GF bread and grownies.

My pullets will be 19 weeks the middle of October. That's the age my first batch started laying.

I've only had a couple lay that early. Generally speaking anywhere from 23 to 28 weeks is "normal" for the girls I've gotten. Some a few weeks younger or older. 23 weeks for my pullets will be mid November. All the older girls will have quit well before then.

My first Black Australorp laid at 19 weeks, 2 days, then the second laid the next day, and the third was at 20 weeks.

They're slowing down now. Last year, the last egg was Nov.19. Australorps are supposed to be pretty good about laying through their first winter, but none of my three did.

When I've gotten day old chicks the first week of June they have always laid through their first winter. The 2 times I got them late April/early May they started in the fall then quit. So much for picking up the older girls' slack for 4 months!

My 2012 Australorps started at 23 & 5 days, 28 & 1 day, the 2015s at 28/3 and 28/4. We'll see how the 2 I got in June do

golden comets, the TJs pullets and one of the EEs laid very early-- as early as 16 weeks.

The eggs are very small then though
