actually, i read the whole thread, v'been following it... so i know why they have boys names...lol, they must just be late bloomers

I'll take 'em! lol

If you only knew what your asking for. I can't type fast enough to post all the problems and ways these knuckleheads come up with to mess with me. You should have seen me chasing that little idiot thru the woods this morning at daylight knowing I had to be at work. The good thing is i knocked down all the spider webs in the woods with my face on the ten acres behind the coop

It finally happened with the four golden comets and I get four eggs a day from them. But this younger generation is pulling out all the stops to test me. What did I ever do.

Whoa! Hey, I only said what I do-your chickens are meaner anyway...just look at their heads...you'd be mean too! But i will take them off your hands if you want! last night I spent an hour chasing a week old chick around the outside the coop, he couldn't figure out now to hop in like everybody else and mama had given up and nested the other six already....so with junior standing out in the open crying "here I am predators, come and get me!" At the top of his voice -big mouth I had to chase him down, out from under the coop with a long piece of trim, around and around the coop and pen till I finally cornered him and muddied up my knee....the least I could do then was hold him (beligerent looking fuzz ball) and pet his little head....and name him/her Tim. I wonder when Tim will lay her first egg...bet it's green. Oh, he bit me too. but at least no cobwebs...hahahahahahah. Bring a stick! Hahaha. The good news is they are only just starting to mess with you...as they get older they will find more creative measures.

Eight days of squating and doing the island dance. Still nothing. OH....they try to take credit for the older chickens eggs every morning. But I know better. Little heifers think i'm stupid.

 

[animallover505]

What breed are they?

 

[dreamcatcherarabians]

19 weeks. No eggs. I sppose the heifers are on strike.

The problem is, you're looking under your heifers for eggs...they're never gonna produce for ya....Just kidding, that just struck me funny because I call mine heffahs too!

 

[okallthis4eggs]

What breed are they?

Two Barred Rocks and Two Buff Orpingtons...aka a nut, a jerk, a heiffer, and a con artist. The four older pullets are Golden Comets. Like clockwork they lay four eggs a day.

Was trying to insult them but keep it clean enough for BYC. You can not imagine all the names I called that little "heffah" the other morning when she decided to lead me on a 10 acre dash at 6:30 in the morning thru the woods before I went to work. Covered with spider webs and now dealing with the chiggers. I guess I do owe the heiffers an apology.
