The one that was 26 weeks lays 6 eggs a week. She cuddles. SHe is smart. SHe is my super chicken. She came into the laundryroom and laid her first egg in the wood chip bag. She knocks on the doggie door or comes in with my dog and goes out after she is done. She has taught some of my other chickens to do the same thing. She is amazing.26 weeks would be wonderful. But I wouldn't surprised if they go longer :-/
