Hey everyone I'm a single chicken owner name Christina. My hen's name is Turkey. She is a 6 month old Feather footed Buff Brahma Bantam. And she just started laying eggs this week. She's up to 5. Can anyone tell me how many eggs typically will a hen lay in her first hatching season? When do they typically start laying, and when do they stop?
I keep Turkey inside. I read that with Bantams that is fine. She is in a large 3 ft high by 3 foot wide by 4 foot long cage. She has a hatching box (she's laid all her eggs in) and I have put a shelf in there she likes to jump up on.. I keep her drinking water on it with her "treat" food dish. I also put a 4ft long 3" in diameter branch she loves to sit and sleep on. Still using newspaper for the bottom of the cage. She's a great eater and drinks well. Her hatch box is 12x12 box with 2 openings. I don't know about your chickens but mine loves to play with toys to include small stuffed animals LOL. I've had her since she was 3 days old. I will be putting a picture of her on here momentarily.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!
Thanks in advance,
Christina
