Oh no, don't tell me that!

They were not cheap. I keep watching one that keeps laying in the boxes and she is making a lot of noise. Don't know if that is a good sign??

I had terrible luck with Cream Legbars too...hens started laying at about 6 months of age, were not very good layers, then quit laying at 11 months of age and never laid another egg again!

I have had reasonably good luck with my cream legbars. The first one I got started laying at about 5 months old and has been laying reliably since then (now 13 months old), although she has gone broody 3 times, but has been easy to break and has gone back to laying pretty quickly. My other legbars are from a different source and started laying at about 4 1/2 months old and have been very reliable so far. All of my legbars have been laying about 5 eggs per week.

That's nice to know. Im hoping it won't be too much longer.

WOOW Sold about 7 pullets for tomorrow! Some Choc Orps too! Happy dance over here!


Hubby came through surgery just fine and is home today. Not up to par yet but soon. He can't lift anything for at least 2 weeks, so he can't move feed for me when we go Wednesday.

I finally put the ads up on Craigs List if anyone wants to look. I can take them to Bonnies when I go next week..... Keets too.

Hi Aronia, what part of South Asia do you live? What kind of chickens do you have? I like finding new chickens.

My rooster is ugly! Im 99% sure he is molting. He has no long saddles,He has 1 long tail feather left, all the others are little nubs with tiny green pieces sticking out.and a few other small ugly splotches. I've never seen him molt this bad before. Poor guy went from prince charming to the ugly duckling. His ego must be hurting really bad about now!
