Wow..I am so happy for my son. Today is his 13th birthday and today he got his FIRST EGG. We were so excited for him. To see him you may of thought he won a million dollars. I am so happy that one of hens has started laying. What a great way from him to celebrate his birthday with one of his hens giving him his first egg.

Thanks for all the encouragement and advice..!!! You guys ROCK...!!!!

WAHOOO!!!
What a wonderful surprise.

Do you have any pictures of your chickens?
I have not heard of Long Island Red chickens. Perhaps you mean Rhode Island Reds?

My 12 year old son bought chickens this summer. 2 Long Island Red Roosters and 8 hens. To date the hens have not layed one egg and my son is getting very disappointed. We are feeding Laying Mesh and they have nesting boxes. What are we not doing right or what are we doing wrong? I hate to see my son disappointed and I do not want him to give up his hobby with his chickens. Any help please or suggestions?

My grand kid about the same age have had chickens for several years. I think they learn lots of life lessons from the flock. Responsibility, respect for life and patience.
Every thing comes in time. LOL
