Been wanting one of them, have you?

WHAT....they haven't started laying yet.
OH NO....this is NOT GOOD.

I've been stalking a woman who bought her birds from the same local breeder I did 4wks before me. Hers just started laying at 25wks. I'm paranoid because anytime they start going 'sideways' before they lay, I lose them. Anytime they go sideways after laying, it seems like a temporary issue. I'm trying not to stress about it, but the anticipation is killing me.

Go give her some vitamins...she will be fine, trust me.

Yes'm
I can't catch her right now, 'cos I let her out to free range, but I'll get her tonight when she goes to roost.

What... you mean you don't have her trained yet?
She should come to you on command...
off with her head.
