Well, gosh HappyMtn..... are the eggs pretty at least?

Oh yeah! Lovely! I just wish I got to see them a bit more often!

My bantam hens are horrible layers. One hen literally lays an egg a month when she feels like it. The other one lays one every other day, then will go a week with nothing.


My large fowl girls are different. They lay an egg every day in the same place with no fuss. In fact I moved one of my splash hens to another pen, recently. She rooted around saw where everyone else was laying and laid an egg within a hour.

Ahhh- now I don't feel so bad. How am I ever going to get any chicks? I've been pining for tiny babies for months!

I guess my girls are great layers. I get 1-2 sky blue eggs per day out of two hens.

My three bantam girls are fantastic layers also. I was getting two to three eggs a day out of three hens until the one went broody on me. But like I said earlier, they go out of their way to hide the eggs, so that affect the efficiency factor some.

So, with the two tufted chickens there (lovely!) what was your hatch rate and viability?
