Should I buy eggs or wait it out?

Well... aside from the two busted frozen eggs in the chicken run this morning (who knows how long they were there) I got one egg from Penny.

I think I will make curtains for the nest boxes. Maybe a tad bit more privacy might help the girls lay in the nest boxes. I found an old pillow case, so that should work out just fine. I rushed home early from work so that Cody could go out to potty. My poor old lab can't be left outside in this sub zero stuff. I opened the door to the run and out the girls went .... down the trail to the toy hauler. Scratch for the girls... alfalfa sprouts and noodles for a bedtime treat.

Quote: I relocated the two Delaware roosters because they were brothers to my Delaware hens. Wasn't looking to reproduce Delawares anyway. I kept the RIR rooster to cross with the BR's and Delaware hens to produce red and black sex linked offspring. My Golden Comets are over two years and starting to slow down production wise so any chicks I might get tempted to hatch in the spring would be to replace them. All of the mentioned birds (RIR, Del's and BR's) are supposed to be heritage so it will be interesting to see if I can produce red sex links that will equal the production of the hatchery produced Golden Comets. I have been totally impressed with Golden Comets laying ability. Also I need to get cheeka some Rhode Island Roger eggs/egg so she can be the only one in the eastern United States/World with one of those rare eggs that she can try to hatch. Only six to eight of them a year are produced. And if that don't work and she still wants a headache she can just have Roger
