I have 10 hens and only got 3 eggs yesterday. They all have very red combs and I expect many more eggs very soon. Kern

Rob, I always felt the Grapevine was the road out of No. Cal. That would be just south of Fresno. Good question tho.

South of the grapevine for sure.

I have two Black Marans, two Black Copper Marans, two Wheaten Ameraucanas, two olive eggers, one Easter Egger, and one White Leghorn. If you only want eggs there is no way to beat the leghorn. She has been a fantastic layer. She only took off about 6 weeks this winter and lays eggs as large as the Marans but at least twice as many. Kern

I am surprised that my Pita Pinta started up before the Trader Joes leghorn! She did lay eggs much longer into winter though

One of my Blue Egg layers has started up too

I'm averaging about 5 eggs a week for the last two weeks out of nearly 17 hens. It's mainly my two Polish Crested that are producing right now.

Are the Polish first year hens?

Yes, they are first year hens.

first year hens\pullets will often lay through the first winter and them molt at 1.5 years old the next fall
