Should I buy eggs or wait it out?

Cheeka strikes again with BEAUTIFUL pictures. All I got is poo. Feel like Charlie Brown at Halloween.

I can spend hours and hours in an aquarium. Come to CA and I'll take you guys to Monterey. Fantastic aquarium and beautiful place.

We are planning a California vacation for 2019 if not sooner! I'm so in for this get-together!!!
We have to make one more "big east" trip.
Wrangler doesn't remember some family members...and hasn't met a few others...

Adopted Sunday. I think they were born Friday. They were so tiny, I don’t think they could have even been born Thursday.

I have an 8-month-old Ameraucana. I haven’t seen any eggs from her yet. Should I buy eggs, or...?

If you only have one chicken, you will still need to buy eggs until the new chicks are laying eggs.

Since we are moving into spring, your older girl will start laying eggs soon

But I want them to lay nooooow!

The sexlinks and the leghorns will lay eggs first but you have a wait of about 20 weeks.

It is so exciting to get the first eggs!

I’m hoping they lay at 16 weeks. Most of my hatchery birds do.
It is exciting! I’ve been without fresh chicken eggs for... I think six months. Maybe seven.

The December shipment of hatchery birds I had years ago - several of those pullets started at 17 weeks, which shocked the daylights outta me! I wasnt expecting that at all, because I had never gotten an egg in less than 24 weeks, and many birds much longer...
But I had only 1 blue egg layer, and one day there were 3 blue eggs... it snowballed from there and was awesome!
