I have a pot of spaghetti sauce on the stove for my lasagna tomorrow when the kids come over. It smells so awesome, the dog is laying on the floor in front of the stove.
Ok, I put a spoonful of it in his food, so he wants more...

Sounds good! I had stuffed shells tonight. Have to go to my aunts house tomorrow for sausage and peppers!

lol...

OH got the best Christmas present this morn... his Crash duck laid her very first egg...

Lady Greys egg left, Crash's on right...

Crash in front and Lady Grey...

Very cool!

It actually depends on what the size is normally for the breed/line you are working with, and how quick the pullets eggs gain size...

Some take a month, some less... if they start super small, definitely wait til they get close to normal sized... Lady Grey took almost a month to get hers to hatchkng size, my Am's started laying theirs 3/4 normal sized...

2 weeks to a month is a general good rule of thumb... but if you're just doing mixes, or fun projects, or have a catastrophe then go ahead and try... just keep in mind they *usually* have lower hatch rate, less thrifty chicks, and *could be* smaller at full size...

Btw, mixes *usually* don't have these issues compared to pures...

Very good info!
