They might wait an extra week, just to confuse you.

Or the sneaky little beasts will lay one early just to confuse you. I swear they exist purely to mess with our heads. Wait until you want one to go broody...

I got my chicks on 2/8 and they have been laying for a month now.....

Maybe you can trick them by going out and returning with a couple of egg cartons full of golf balls?

Hmm, I've gotten some golf balls. All they want to do is sit on them.

Lighting is for pushing the birds for max production, I'd rather let them be chickens, I'm not supplying the grocery stores, if you read further you can also force molting. Why bother.

Enjoy the birds make an omlet, Spanish or Western would be good.

Thanks for all the info. I'll save my egg coupons for when patience runs thin and then buy some with the hope of finding an egg.
By fall I figure to have this sight memorized. Problem is I keep finding new situations you guys come up with that I never even thought about.
Keep up the good work.
