I have a friend who has on young hen who has just started to lay, sporadically, about 3 months after two others the same age
she (my friend) was starting to wave the axeI'm glad it didn't come to that
I'm sure that one of my older girls (the black one) has a little sing song when she just thinks about laying. She seems to think that's enough
I'm soo glad that it didn't come down to that.
