Hello! Thanks for all your advice

[mizz9]

Hi all,

I have been reading tons of stuff on this site for a month before finally getting our first 3 pullets this week. Finally joined so I can ask questions and hopefully have my own helpful advice after a while!

For the most part the new babies are settling in well!

1 Plymouth Rock "Pepper", 1 Rhode Island Red "Ginger", and 1 Black Australorp "Sydney"
Pepper is the smallest of the group but already has decided that she is the boss! Lots of great "Chicken TV" already.

Hey there @mizz9 and I would like to welcome you by saying

!
I am happy you joined us here on our wonderful forum and I hope yo continue to be a member here. I have some questions about your flock and if you have any time I would appreciate it if you could answer them...
1. How old are your pullets?
2. Have they laid any eggs yet?

I was wondering because when you used the term pullet which is a young hen I wasntt sure whether they were laying or not. I also have some links that I give to people most are common and some are unique based on your intro and what you may need help or experience in...

They are 5 weeks old. Still chick-like. Got a little while to wait for the eggs!

I am sure they are super cute! Yes they will start laying when they are around 6 months old. All the best of luck to you!
