1 egg. Shorter days, changing seasons, molting. I guess a combo of all this has got my layers in a bind. Molting has 3 of my beautiful Australorps looking like homeless chickens. Still waiting for my 10 pullets to start laying. Theyāre 19 weeks this Monday. 1 egg out of 16 hens and a rooster thatās 24 weeks that wonāt crow.
I got 5 out of 5 pretty early today, including one on the coop floor when they got let out this morning. Itās been snowing all day so the younger birds are hanging around in the coop annoying the broody.
