Great news today, our NH Reds actually laid 2 eggs today (we have 12) and they are only 15 weeks old!!!!! i didn't have the nesting boxes open to them because i was told to expect eggs after 20 weeks. so i was out in the passing rain tonight putting in the dividers and cutting some holes for them to access the boxes and adding hay, i really hope they take to laying in the boxes... time will tell and welcome to my wife who joined the forum today Rekkas Peeps
