Countdown To Eggs! For June hatches 😊

[UThobbyfarmer]

Chickens moved into the new coop yesterday. First egg today! Coincidence? I told my husband they are saying “Thank You.”

If I had to guess I’d say it was a barnyard mix hen with a 6/11 hatch date (25 weeks old). Those 3 are named Omelette, Frittata and Sunny (side up). Or they could be from one of the 4 Hoover’s pullets. Hatch day July 5th. They’ll be 22 weeks old tomorrow.

Look at all that snow! We have been spared so far this winter, very uncommon. I don’t envy you!


Waiting to see who will be layer #3! DS guesses our Cuckoo Marans. I think it might be the Buff Orpington. Hopefully it won’t be too much of a wait! 10ish baby size eggs a week is definitely better than zero, but 15ish would be even better!

Not that I can see, believe it or not! One SLW has been very red from the beginning, but comb is small & I seem to remember one of my GLW was the same last year. We ended up with 6 out of 9 cockerels in the hatchlings i kept though, lol. My aunts will each keep 1, the rest will be winter dinners.

I am newer then you guys. My chicks are 8 weeks. Know i have, possibly 3 Cockrell out of an order of 16. Funny story there...I ordered 10 sapphire splash, female, and I canceled the order with TSC. I ordered 6 from my pet chicken because I could mix breeds. They sent me the 12 I canceled a week before the other 6 showed up. Unfortunately 2 failed to thrive so I have 14. Boy did we have to scramble to make more room. Okay... I'll shut up now...

There’s always room for 10 more. Everyone knows chicks don’t count toward your actual chicken numbers.

So jealous! Delilah laid 2 eggs and stopped (nothing from her in 2ish weeks) dahlia still hasn't started they'll be 30 weeks this Sunday. On a good note my March pullets, Freya (favaucana) and Lilly (BLRW) are still laying, so I'll take that as a win, lol

Yeah those March birds should be good until next fall. Mine are laying really good and have been for a couple months.

We have 4 pullets, 2 mid June which aren't laying 2 mid April which have both started and then stopped.

My Marans are laying too now! Bonus, they’re even using the nest box. This means at least 3 new layers: two Marans, one BYM. All started over the last 3 days (Monday-Wednesday).
