Hurricane Advice

Totally off topic, I know.

I got a leghorn with red everywhere and 2 fingers fit between the butt bones. At what age do the over achievers start laying treasure (rent)? I'm not saying the age because I don't want to prejudice your answer. This is a leghorn and I'm guessing different from the heritage BR that aren't even thinking of turning red.

If it was a single bird, I'd think it was a fluke. It isn't. Got 3 of them like this.

leghorns are one of the earliest to lay eggs--16 to 20 weeks old normally.
We are going into lower daylight hours but if she starts before light goes below 12 hours a day, she will likely keep laying all winter

#1 and #1

Looks like these people say any where between 17 and 22 weeks

I don't know, but my Daisy started laying not that long after I got her, and she was supposed to be about 12 weeks then, so somewhere around that range sounds about right for her (she's cross-bred, though)

Here's my last major woodworking project. Took me three years working on weekends.

Funny story... After ten years of not being able to agree on a retirement location, DW and I began this adventure. Just the two of us. 90% done, we found our dream location. It was really hard to finish--but the house listed for three days until we had a solid offer. DW wants to know when I'm going to do the kitchen in the new house. ARG

Edited to add: for you bakers out there, yes those are walnut pie rings inlaid into the white maple butcher block counter top.

wrong kind of stove I use gas stoves only

One of those goofy faverolles hasn't laid yet and she's going on six months. I gave up measuring the butt space it was getting old for both of us.
