I can't thank you enough! I know they are in good hands! Hope everyone made it into the coop tonite. I know that little CCL will become one of your favorites!
The kids are already bugging me to come visit! I'll have to try that hard cider for sure!

Yep, I'm a sucker for the CCLs......tonight is/was pretty confused....my OE was perched on the pen fence, I put her in the big coop....the Dork mix flew back into the growout pen and was perched in the coop.....my silkie was under the main coop and I put her in the big coop.....the LAVs and one Rode went into the coop....the silkies were in a scrum in the corner of the pen....and the other five girls were perched on a bungie cord that holds the tarp tight....(I tried to convince the other rode to go into one of the two coops...but wouldn't )....I'll be out with Denny ever few hours watch over things....

Some breeds start at 17 weeks but not many...there are heritage breeds which don't start till 24-28 weeks. Your birds will start depending on their back grounds. Hatchery birds do seem to start earlier than heritage bred... but that is a byproduct of the efforts of many hatcheries to increase egg production because it is usually a good selling point. so to make it even more confusing...it could be any time from this week to next month...LOL

So basically, I have to wait! :(

So great to hear that you were able to relocate your flock, flowerefairey. I know I would be upset if I had to get rid of my girls. Everone is so nice on this site.

On another note, family went to the Wayne county fair yesterday and they were selling chicks. Was really tempted to get a few. They had cute Australorps! Want to wait til mine start laying.
Speaking of which, my girls are 17 weeks old. Shouldn't they be laying by now? Am I being impatient? It seems like forever!

Its been my experience that 20wks is about right...some breeds lay early and some go longer....

I love the horse pulls and tractor pulls! and all the animals of course![/quote

I love the horse pulls, too, although I haven't seen them for years. I wasn't able to go into the stables to see the horses because they were closed. I used to have a horse years ago and miss him. Horse smell are like roses to me. But this was the first time I saw the chickens.
