First Egg Countdown

[OleMissChic]

Guess What!!.....

All 5 of my girls are laying now!! 5 eggs a day for the past three days perfectly in the nesting box, 6 counting my duck Quinn! No egg eaters! I want to thank you all for keeping sane throughout the past few weeks! You ladies are the best!!! Annnd for now I am proud to say I have no more slackers....we'll see what happens come spring time!

That's so great gwenirish11!! Congratulations!

I'm happy to report that, as of today, both my Red Stars are laying! I'm getting 6 a week from one, hopefully the other will folllow suit. Now if only my BO and Barnvelder cross would join them...and then the 8 babies in the brooder will take forever, but at least I have two laying!

On a side note, I picked up some crickets today as a treat for both the pullets and babies - HILARIOUS!

Happy New Year everyone!

Ouch! I heard Barnevelders can take a long time...and I think my cross is going to take her sweet time. She sure is noisy though. Congrats on the Welsummer starting!

Barnevelders take a very long time, but this is the first time it has taken THIS long for one of my barnevelder pullets to start laying. She'll probably lay a few eggs then go broody.

I'm waiting on 2 EE that are 25 weeks old and 2 silkies that are 24 weeks old. Ho humm. I know the silkies could take a while but the EE's?? Any ideas? My two BR's which are the same age as the EE's started laying the end on Nov. It's a waiting game I guess.

Alright! So my NYD hatch has finished, and I have 4 babies to add to this thread. Hopefully at least one is a pullet. I have no idea what breed these are other than whatever it is that Whole Foods uses for egg laying.

Here is two of the fluffybutts!! They came from brown eggs

Cuties!

I have only seen this response about your new babies. Where did you get the eggs? Are they just regular Whole Foods eggs? Cute babies!
