Should I buy eggs or wait it out?

Maybe they're younger than you think, too...that could happen I suppose if the lady had a lot of birds. I still think even if they were past their prime for laying, you would still see an egg here and there unless they were REALLY old.

Hmmm no idea what those black ones are.

Ok sorry to keep asking questions but I finally had the time to go out to take pics of chickens but we bought these black ones first under the assumption they were BAs but now not so sure.

Now are those also of uncertain age?

I have been researching breeds and I'm guessing Langshans?? They have a green sheen to their feathers when sun hits them and they have feathers on their legs. I don't know

They are around 11 to 12 weeks old. We were told it could be into next year before we see an egg.

That's cool. I don't really ever go to the home page. Thanks for letting us know Wish OK was here. Probably fighting off predators and busy sitting on Roger's egg for her...

TN - ok whew. I was going to say, those look awfully young. You may get eggs out of them yet this year, if you look in the first egg pics thread, plenty of people have gotten their first eggs in winter. Only thing to do is wait I hate waiting.
