It's getting closer, I think?

Today I saw my rooster which was always getting picked on by the BR's because they are 2 weeks older, teach one of the BRs a lesson. I'm also seeing them(BRs) squat - alot of the time. They don't seem as tough anymore, kinda passive. Are those signs of them about to lay? They will be 4 months on the 8th.

You have about 1 to 1.5 months to go.

So it takes about a month for them to lay once they start squatting?

so much for me having eggs for pie

We get winter early here and they are suppose to slow down during winter

I got my first egg today and mine are about 6.5 months old. I kept threatening every day to turn them into soup! I really didn't think it was ever going to happen. The wait is terrible, isn't it?

 

[OHMYCHICKIES]

oh man it is. I guess that'll teach me more patience

We got our 1st egg yesterday. That was within a week of when she first started squatting. So I'm guessing yours should come soon.
