bantams

[Orpingtonlover]

I was just wondering if bantams lay less then bigger breeds i have some full grown hens laying everyday but my bantam has only laid one is 4 days is that normal?

well bantams should lay just the same as them but just smaller eggs. it could be another problem such as stress.. i dk... usually if they start laying at first they lay one every 4 days. do you say that they are full grown and just started or have they just all of sudden started laying like that?

well the thing is i bought them one week ago at a Auction and this is the second egg that has been laid in a week is it maybe because there not completely comfortable yet or?

yeah that could be it--it is just getting used to your flock-- you gotta remember that the roosters may be trying to get with it (if you know what i mean) and she just isnt really comfortable. just give her a little while and see what happens.

I have 5 bantam hens and get from 3 to 5 eggs daily from them. And they are quite delicious!!
