It sure is, so complain away! I still complain about my fourth one who refuses to start laying, even though the other three started a little while ago.So, I'm still waiting waiting waiting. Very impatiently now. These chickens are duds.
No eggs for Christmas, no eggs for New Years. Maybe some eggs for Groundhog's Day? I looked it up and we should have 10 hours of daylight by then. Hopefully that will be enough to get these chickens in gear!
Wait, this is the thread to complain about chickens not laying eggs yet, right?
I am not blaming them today though - I brought them inside to a spare, air-conditioned bathroom becasuse a heatwave was predicted. Our outdoor thermomenter in part-shade peaked at 44.8 Celsius - that's 112.6 Fahrenheit. They are disconcerted but cannot know that it is like an oven out there. I feared losing them. And I can always hose the bathroom down tomorrow when the termperatures are due to drop. It could be worse - lots of bushfires throughout Australia so there are many out there worried for their homes, family, chooks and other pets. Stay safe everyone!
