My chicken sang the egg song!

I'm sorry, but I'm having a very hard time understanding why you need your boyfriend's *permission* to get silkies ... with YOUR OWN money, no less!! I just can't wrap my brain around that. Plus, by your own words, he values some stranger's personal opinion about something more than your happiness. If you think this is love, we need to have a talk. I sure hope you aren't entertaining ideas about marrying him one day ... he sounds like he'd be an abuser.

Different strokes for different folks? I learned long time ago to leave others relationships alone. :/

This turned awkward quickly! Lets all sit down with a cupa and all will be fine

I grabbed a bucket of ice cream, if that's ok?

You're absolutely right. I let my personal issues get in the way of my discretion. Thanks for straightening me out.

Our first leghorn started laying but no egg song She has layed 3 out of 4 days so far. We have 2 other leghorns and 2 RIR. Do they all just start to fall in line like a chain reaction to lay or is each lady just different and it's a guessing game?

I think that each lady is on their own time line. I had a silkie stay at 18 weeks, GC at 19 1/2 weeks, another GC at 20 weeks, and an EE at 20 weeks. I still have 9 girls ages 22-23 weeks that haven't started yet but I believe they're encouraged by the ones who are laying and are learning what they're supposed to do when the time comes

I have a Barred rock that lays me an egg every day almost. She took Sunday off. That must have been her day of rest. She just started laying and gives me small brown eggs. Two of them together would make a good egg. I guess they start out that way. I have New Hamps that are 22 weeks and haven't laid yet.

When it comes to living things, animals, humans, plants, there is no consistency in behavior; everything is individual. The most we can hope for is general guidelines. The only consistency you can expect is in manufactured products.

Hmm. I heard leghorn lay earlier than others. I hear my chickens egg song with the accompanying rooster lamaze coaching in the background lol.

I'm excited that my ladies are all starting to lay. Then I got 26 chicks yesterday. I am insane.
