View attachment 1104108 I tell them they need to start laying. Stupid chicken here is like "ummm, no."

Open up a cookbook, show them the alternative they will get in line...

Better than 0/3!
Cookbooks & catalogues won't help with my girls. They called my bluff.
Btw what does it mean if one climbs up your back & hangs out on your shoulder as you stand up? Is she trying to show dominance or just being cute?

I think it means you are lucky she did not poop on you. Mine used to get on me but I discourage it now after one jumped on my arm with poopy feet. Like really gross wet poopy feet.

1/7 today

So today my light brown leghorn squatted for me, I should be getting two white ones a day soon. So far the white leghorn has laid 4 eggs over 6 days still small, 41 grams

They will be 19 weeks old on Monday, I am guessing the brown leghorn next followed by red sex link, then maybe barred rock but who knows
