Long story short...
I bought them nearly three years ago from Holderread's. I went down there (20+ hour round trip) and picked them up. Supposedly a trio of show/breeder quality birds...I was ignorantly assuming that they took 3 years or so to reach maturity/laying age and since they are approaching three this spring, I thought they would be good to go this year....but then I was alerted that they should have been laying last year!
I was worried almost sick that I may have all males?
Turns out my Borzoi has developed a taste for the eggs! He was scaling the 6 FOOT HIGH CHAIN-LINK FENCE, eating eggs and then climbing back out with a belly full of eggs!!!! He's going to his handler's house/Canada and some shows around the NW (next weekend), so he'll be gone for a month or so, while I try to collect some eggs and modify the pen. We're thinking a strand of hot wire around the top may deter him!
