Still no eggs yet but ONE OF MY ORPINGTONS AND MY BARRED ROCK STARTED SQUATTING TODAY!!!! e
One Australorp, the Barred Rock, and one or two Orpingtons, and I think possibly the Easter Eggers combs and wattles have been very red for while too and the Australorps have been eating the oyster shell for a couple weeks plus I saw an Orpington check out a nest boxt today and i know others have because every time I go out there are fake eggs kicked out of the box and today there were almost no shavings in one. May need to add a lip. Last week I took out all the fake eggs except one in each box. The bag came with 10 so I had put 3 in two and 4 in one and my dad thought there wasnt enough room to lay their eggs or they didn't like it cause there'd always be at least 3 or 4 eggs punted across the coop LOL so now there is one in each box and theres 3 boxes. One was still out this morning though. But hopefully they lay soon!!!!
