Buff orps.

[Barnyard Dawg]

Our two buff orpingtons didn't start laying at the same time, one started early at around 20 weeks and the other 24-25 weeks they were very small eggs which I like over large eggs.

Barnyard dawg, Why do you like small eggs?

I like poached eggs in the morning the large one's spill over the egde, so there is less clean up with smaller eggs.

My Buff O began at 28 weeks, the third egg was a double yolker! My other Buff has not begun to lay yet, any time now...

hope it happens for you soon, I think the moment you stop thinking about it and checking all the time is when they start.

Hah, yeah I have been feeding her oyster shell
I havent given here layer feed yet because all
my others are only 16 weeks, so when the rest
turn 18 weeks She will get layer feed.
