I have been told 3 months or less- depending on how you turn it. I usually don't turn it- so I just bet on 3 months.

After checking out my wyandottes I decided to put the other guys in their own coop. There are 5 roosters in the wyandotte grow out coop and I would be adding at least 6 more roosters. So I will keep them separate.

I also bred one of my rabbit does yesterday and she finally submitted to the male!! Yeah, hopefully baby buns in a month.

We have well my youngewst daughter has
Champagne D'Argent rabbits they are gorgeous but still only 3 months old, can't wait to breed them.

Awesome, thank you! I wasn't planning on turning either... I shovel poop enough, between shoveling onto the car then off into the compost pile!

Yup, and I'm not at all upset when they do.

It's like going to a store, buying 6 avocados, and getting mad they didn't give you 8. Who knows, when you cut that avocado, it may not be good inside, but you still only bought 6.
Just because people are usually generous, doesn't mean the six eggs I bought really equals 8... And when I do get 8- I feel like I've won a prize

Me to.

That's not exactly the point I was trying make and I'm sorry it didn't come out the right way.

I understood your point and agree completely only 4 eggs would not be worth my while, well unless they are 300.00 eggs. I love to keep it interesting, sometimes when its slow I like to offer extra eggs for kicks and giggles.

In my composter: about 30 + days (I turn daily in there).
Deep litter: I do a full clean out 3x per year. The litter is mostly pre-composted. I turn that for a few weeks to a month depending on when and where I need it and how it looks. I only turn 1-2 times per week.
Babies: I clean them 3x per week and add that straight to the veggie garden when it is growing (sawdust helps to retain moisture and reduces amount that I need to water, which is a big deal in the desert. I figure the manure is a low enough level that I don't have to worry about burning the plants). If not growing, it gets added to the composter.
Other compost: 60-90 days.
YMMV
I am bad at remembering to turn everything. I am thinking about starting a chicken compost pile this year in one of the runs and seeing how that turns out. Half of my food waste is coffee grounds though...I don't think I want caffeinated chickens

Is anyone interested in Augsburger chicks? I have 5 of them and looking to sell them. No trades. I have no room for more.
