[Hillbilly Hen]

Almost 31 weeks old and it looks like she isn't even thinking about laying yet.

So sorry Raz

It was my own darn fault for not noticing the gap when I moved the fence. My golden (Maggie) wasn't hurting the hen but I'm sure the other hens didn't think so. Then I didn't notice that 1 was actually missing. I thought they were just hiding.

I was thinking that I'd get a couple more chicks after the new year, then lo and behold, Muttsfan makes a post. Karma?

I feel better knowing I have company in the freeloader camp. Pretty girl.


Nancy, I got a roll of plastic at Family Farm & Home. I got the 6 mil which is not really see through like a window but lets light through nicely. You can see objects close to the sides. They also had a 4 mil which was clearer but a thinner. I went with the thinker to make sure it made it through windy weather.

About the clear/white plastic, I was going to say they have it at TSC too. Thats what I am planning on using for a semi sheltered winter area.

Sorry bout your bird Raz, but hey, now You will be back up 2. You'll have 2 of 3 different kinds. And pretty too.

I have a few that don't look like they will lay starting this month like I was told, I am thinking maybe next month. Keeping fingers crossed... But its ok. I like my little freeloaders. LOL.

she looks like she from show stock could be 10 months old before laying her 1st egg

No kidding? It can take SQ chickens that much longer? Did not know that... Cool.
