12/12 eggs yesterday and 11 today! It has been tough around here lately, my estranged wife keeps pulling all kinds of shenanigans, but I am so happy to have these loyal, faithful, hard-working, and funny birds!
Is she staying in the nest all the time? -- if she is, the roo shouldn't want to bother with her. It takes 21 days to hatch out the eggs that are fertilized, so depending on what kind of coop set-up you have, you should go with that as far as timing. The mama will keep her babies warm, but I personally wouldn't want to be hatching babies past September.I have been reading a lot on brooding hens. One of my girls is doing this she will not let the roo near her though. I am not set up for baby chix yet but when I am is this the beat time to let them breed? Or is anytime? Please help I am not sure what to do about this part. Plus I am kind of curious I have a NN that has 2 black feathers and I have been reading other posts about colors and what they arr called i.e. birchen* (spelling) I am just wondering what that means for my girl she is all white but 2 black feathers thats it. I also want to breen her with my EE Roo who has green butt feathers a eung of white where is tail connects and purple ring feathers below that and the orange/red feathers on his body. He is pretty so I am wanting to breed them eventually.
mama will do all the work , just add starter feed, make sure they ave water and mom does the rest. She will intermingle with the adults and no one will hurt them. It's getting to late now, winter will soon e apon us. Spring is a great tie, summer even August when my always go broody lol. I have 4 chicks with a mom now. They will e feathered out by the time the cold comes. Next spring they will be laying. I love fall broodys, makes it fun to see eggs right around february/March .I have been reading a lot on brooding hens. One of my girls is doing this she will not let the roo near her though.

wow 16 layers, I'm still Waiting on two , then my twelve will all be laying, well until the snow flies lol. Looking for a bunch to molt here soon, setting up the lamp for the cold months and I'm still needing to buy the plastic to cover the pen. I'm so glad you got your coop fixed for winter, some one told me the winter was going to be harsh this year.Welcome chickies4fun! I am from outside of Belgrade so not to far from you. What kid of chickens do you have? How many?
Doug, congrats on your girls hard work! They must be so happy to be laying like that. So sorry to hear about your ex. It always surprises me when people can treat someone they loved at one point so horribly. Glad you have your birdss. They will be a source of laughter for sure.
We have 16 out of 20 laying now. We get more than a dozen a day, even on the slow days. I am having fun selling some and reducing the cost of their feed. I am looking forward to it cooling down some... its still so hot! I have some work to do before next summer, I was so worried about the cold winters that our set up is not ideal for the heat. Whoops! They will be happy this winter tho. Lol.
Those are most likely double yolkers. Mine have all done it, started not too long after they first started laying, and this went on for almost 2 months, to where now, I just get one every once in awhile. They seem to do this when they first start laying. It's always lots of fun, but makes you think **ouch** when you look at the size compared to a regular egg. !!Starting to get some really big light brown eggs now, seems like one per day. 2.4 oz in size! I didn't think my girls would lay eggs that big until they were fully grown! I don't know what breed but suspect the BO because they are the biggest hens.
