Hello, and welcome! Glad that you joined! Good luck with your rescues! Will you be getting a couple more hen's for the rooster?

No. I cannot take on any more. Will she be okay?

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
Pullets (and hens) will lay with less than the 'optimal' hours of daylight.
Congratulations on your first egg! It's always exciting to get eggs from new layers.

It is a thrill. Thank you!

Hi! Welcome to BYC! At 5 months the cockerel may get a little hormonal. I've had to separate my two 4 1/2 mo old cockerels from all the hens and pullets, until they get through this crazy stage. Are you going to keep the cockerel?

Yes. The two of them are so bonded.

There is no egg today. I thought once they began, they kept laying until fall???

Most chickens don't lay every day. Yours are still very young as well, it takes a few months to get their egg laying machines in gear. Spring time will get them laying more frequently.
