@marquisella I started talking to another sizzle owner in CT this weekend, we're meeting Monday, she wants my chicks. Anyway we got talking and she told me how she also has Sebastopols. I told her a friend of mine in NY started raising them this year (or maybe it was last year) and she asked who it was, turns out, she got her geese from the same person as you around the same time too I believe? Her name is Erica.

Some my kids are molting too. I open up the coop each morning and it looks like someone opened a feather pillow. One hen came out this morning and shook. There was a giant plume of feathers she left behind.

My Scarlet is doing much better. I put her out during the day, but I'm still bringing her inside at night for now. I give her some fermented food, and some other goodies to help try to get some weight back on her. Her breastbone feels like a carcase from Thanksgiving (only smaller). I think that she really likes it. At night she waits by the door. I know it is just cause she has been inside for so long that she knows she needs to come roost here. I pretend that she is waiting for me. She doesn't mid when I pick her up. I keep the crate on the washer at night and I can set her down on the washer and she walks right in. Then starts talking to me as if she is saying where is my food. 

Been busy added the wood chips to the run. It isn't going to take me as long as I thought that it would to fill the run. It is going fast, now if I could find a few hours together that I could do it then things would be done my now, but it has been my DD's birthday and DH is sick so they keep me busy.

My silver laced cochin is broody. Not sure if I want to give her some eggs or just keep tossing her out. I thought about giving her some duck eggs, but with this being her first time I doubt that she will sit that long, but you never know. I could use some more LF. Most of my girls are getting a little older so I need to have the next generation ready to go. I know hens are slowing down, but does anyone have any LF fertile eggs available?

Our LF cochins are laying, at least one of them is. They should be fertile, I've seen Leonard doing his thing

You're welcome to her eggs if you want them.

I don't know her. I actually don't know anyone except over the internet that has them...small world.
 
Exciting news is my coop! We had our very first egg yesterday 9/20/2014. It wasn't there in the morning when I went to let them out but it was there in the afternoon. That got me thinking.....what time do your chickens lay their eggs and when do you find its best to collect them?
I am hoping to find another this afternoon and that the rest of my chickens also start laying soon. The ladies need to start earning their keep =)
