Chicken Shaming!

[FlyingNunFarm]

I had a hamburg that did not lay until 11 months old. At 7 years she stopped laying and shortly thereafter started crowing.

Chickens are weird lol.

She's about a year and a half now....hhhhmmmm

I think they put the feathers in there so they can laugh every time I check! I've even searched the run hoping to find even left over egg. No luck.

This is Mrs. Howell, her two friends, Ginger (RIR) and MaryAnn (Americuana) have been laying daily now for a month, they are all 5 months old. Shame on Mrs Howell! But she thinks she is TOO good and important to lay eggs for us. We won't call her Lovey until she lays. Tomorrow I will introduce Mrs Howell to Mr Smoker to see if she thinks he is attractive. That might get her to lay!

Maybe she's saving her first egg for Thurston

Are those bait feathers? Maybe put there so you will think some varmint stole the eggies? They should be ashamed of such behavior!

Maybe they need you to read them a story..... From a chicken cookbook. Weigh them too that may get their attention!

I have explained the crock pot and how it works to mine...... Laying went up 20%.....just saying.
