what does the egg song sound like? i have a VERY vocal pullet (pullet, not cock) i thought she was just being noisy, but could it be the egg song????

Love it . Poor Roger must feel like a jerk. I picked her up and gave her a pep talk. She didn't think I would know who didn't lay. But the other little strutin snitches with the big heads made it so obvious

Enjoy them why they are young. If they turn into hoodlums like mine did you will wish you were still buying eggs. What is your prediction for the date when your first egg will arrive?............ Don't let them know

my hope is the RIR's will start within 2 weeks, and the BR's within a week or 2 after that, so 8/17 for the RIR's, 9/1 for the BR's.
the EE's seem to be late bloomers, so... February 2013 in the middle of an ice storm is my best guess...(eh, maybe 10/1/12)
