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.

Welcome to BYC! How awesome of you to rescue chickens!

Oh thanks. They were part of that awful thing in Brooklyn called Kaporos. The men swing the live chicken over their heads to atone for sins!!!

Oh no! You have some very lucky chickens! It’s shocking how disrespected chickens are.

Thanks so much!

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.

Thank you so much. I understand now.

Jews fast from sundown to sundown on their highest holy day "YOM KIPPUR." No food, water during that time - for the day of Atonement. They do not work or entertain themselves.
They may read or contemplate how to improve themselves for the next year.
