So....we just started with urban backyard chickens a few weeks ago. I first found three RIR's that have each laid an egg every single day...awesome! Then, a week ago, I went and got two more...I think they are easter eggers...but they were free range. The lady I bought them from told me she thinks they were laying and she thinks they are about a year old. I did not have the foresight to realize that since they were free ranging with 40 other chickens, how would she ever know? Lol...
So now I think I have two freeloaders. As much as my kids and wife want to keep them as pets, I'd rather replace them with two that I know are good layers.
Should I give these two new ones some more time to see it they will start? Or if they haven't laid by now, they aren't going to do it with anywhere near the consistency I'm hoping for?
I appreciate any advice!
Thanks
