Hi all! Just letting you know that I am joining the egg watch. It felt kind of stalker-like to read the thread without saying anything. My three pullets are 17 weeks old, so probably have a little bit to go, but their wattles and combs get bigger and redder every day and they are getting big, poofy butts, which seems like progress. The Barred Rock hung out in the nest box clucking to herself for awhile while the other two slunk around outside the coop door looking vaguely embarrassed, but it was just a cruel taunt. Hattie, the Easter Egger, hallucinates hawks and drives everyone back into the coop with a big fluttering commotion about every three seconds. I believe she has gender confusion issues. It's probably my fault for naming her Hatshepsut. My little Welsummer may be my only hope for a sane chicken.
Anyway, nothing much to say, just letting you know I am here, watching, waiting, hoping, fruitlessly checking the nest box, offering layer feed, and tomatoes, and oyster shells, and artfully arranged table scraps, while the BR goes into the nest box and clucks and snickers . .
