"Who are you callin' 'Garfield-looking'?!"

Today she's sitting in the broody-buster, brooding in a different way.

18-20 weeks is about the earliest to expect eggs. I've had some (*cough Frou-frou cough*) wait until 33 weeks or later, though.

I have a video of one of my girls doing the egg song, if you'd like to hear it.

She also crows a couple times in that video, but that isn't normal of an egg song.

Yes we'd like to hear the egg-laying song. Is it posted on You Tube?

Not sure what this chick is but my son loves it. Any guesses as to what it is?

Here ya go:

[VIDEO]

The 'ah-ah-ah' is the pre-egg-song, and the 'bock-bock-bu-GAWK!' is what is commonly called the egg song. And then she crows a couple times, but Biddy-bird is weird like that.

ETA: She starts into the egg song about a minute into the video.

I would love to see pictures of your chickens in the rain. Do any of you photographers have pics of your chickens on a rainy day?

That reminds me of an old song. Sort of.. " Rainy Days and Chickens Always Get Me Down. Hanging around. Nothing else to do but drowned. Funny but it seems I always end up here with you ( the chickens). Its nice to know there's some who loves me. Funny , but it seems its the only thing to do. Run and find the one who loves me ( my chickens). What I feel has come before ( worried about the rain flooding my chicken coop). No need to talk it out. We know what it is all about. Hanging around. Nothing to do but plan a way to provide dry ground.......etc."

I am also. I've learned so much about chickens the past 5 months, some from our library and a lot from here.

Anyone remember libraries? They have books and stuff lol. A book I got from there mentioned this forum, that's how I found it.

My sister, the librarian, will be happy to hear that! (She lives in Louisville. Yes, there's a library in Kentucky and one of their books hasn't even been colored in yet! haha)
