View attachment 4016371I forgot to post Artemis's first egg here. She started laying Nov 13 and has turned out to be a really reliable layer. She gives us about 4-5 medium-large eggs a week.
She does consistently lay in a corner instead of the nest box (i don't think she's ever laid in the nest box). I'm not sure if it's because she's lowest in the pecking order or if it's because there's always someone else in the nest box when she's ready to lay.View attachment 4016372It does seem like she's getting her head feathers picked, although in her case it seems to be working in her favor because now her crest is less likely to be dunked in the water bowl.

The last one has a cross beak but she seems to be doing well!I got 4 this spring and they're 12 weeks old tomorrow! Not 100% sure they're all pellets (as ordered) but definitely 100% adorable!

I don't see any obvious cockerels, they all look like pullets to me.I got 4 this spring and they're 12 weeks old tomorrow! Not 100% sure they're all pellets (as ordered) but definitely 100% adorable!
