I have three laying right now. One lays around 9am-religiously. The second egg comes between noon and 2pm, the third lays between about 4 and 6pm. I don't mind. I find that I am at the coop every hour or so anyway cause I just love the little yard birds. I just hate to bug them. Guys, forgive me, but I know that when women work in close proximity, their cycles synchronize. Will this happen with hens?
Quote:I know, and those feather are proof beyond any doubt. I don't expect them to act like humans, in fact, it would freak me out. If they could just lay on a more synchronized schedule, though... (I jest. Mostly.) I am mainly concerned about my vacation in three weeks. If they can sync up to all laying around 4pm, then my mother only has to come over here once a day feed & water & pick up eggs. It's pure selfishness on my part. Well, that and the cottage we rented allows dogs but not chickens. Go figger! And do they have chickolympics? That would be awesome!
