That is a picture of my coop and yard. It was a project of mine. I wanted to build the area using completely recycled materials so i used ex vinyard posts, recycled pallets, old roofing iron and leftover fencing wire love it.
Sounds like you have a lovely flock! Don't worry, we were ALL impatient waiting on those first eggs. LOL Most breeds start laying sometime between 5 and 6 months of age. When the combs get red and they start to squat for you when you lean over them, the eggs should be coming down the pipes soon!
Great to have you aboard and welcome to our flock!
Hi
Glad you could join the flock! 100% on everyone being impatient for those first eggs!! You have a lovely flock there and a great set up. Hope you are able to get your gold lace Wyandotte, I have friends who have a gold wyandotte in their flock and she is a lovely bird.
Wishing you the very best of luck and hope you enjoy BYC
Are your 10 month old Light Sussex the birds that aren't laying yet? Most birds start laying at 5-7 months old, so they would be rather late. Is it possible that they could be hiding their eggs somewhere?
If it's your 21 week old Sussex that isn't laying yet, she'll probably start laying within the next month or so.
I hope you can find the Golden Laced Wyandottes you want! I really enjoy my Wyandottes (though I don't have the Golden Laced variety).
love it.
