The Old Folks Home

There's always room somewhere....

I could make room in the sunroom but DSO says no more chickies allowed in the sunroom.

Where is my baby momma

Did you on the couch?

Where is my baby momma

Gone to borrow her father's shotgun?

Where is my baby momma

Perhaps you should be careful...

 

[chickwhispers]

Doubly careful if it's a double barrel.

 

[hennible]

Maybe you should get outta the house to be safe...

@ronott1 I found that my hachery white Leghorns needed NO extra light to lay almost every single day, from start up until their first molt. My golden Comets, and production Rhode Island Reds can't hold a candle to the leghorns.

BUT, the leghorns fulfilled the other part of the stereotype too. After a year of laying one had a prolapsed vent.

By the way folks, thanks for taking all my cold weather!

we are still warm and RAINY up here!

That is good to hear about the day light hours and leghonrs.

Did they start laying in August to September? A lot of breeds will continue through the winter if they start laying then. It is a nice trick to use if you do not mind getting rid of old hens.

I have one either leghorn or white rock that continues to lay ginormous double yolkers sometimes 3 days in a row! When I say ginormous I mean they weigh 3.3 oz! What's up with that?

They are monster layers is why!
