waiting for an egg.....

Be careful what you wish for.

Ours started laying a few weeks back and now we're getting 5 a day. They add up fast.

Exact same thing my DH says! May give some to my neighbor and friends.

Well, I found (on the net) and posted (elsewhere on BYC forum) the two recipes that use a dozen eggs at a pop. A dozen yolks in a pound cake and a dozen whites in an angel food cake. Just need to get some cake flour. Wife is picking that up today at the grocery. All we have is all-purpose and bread flour.

What are these Molto Mario's cakes? Haven't run across that one on the forum yet.

You know I have been feeding them grower feed, because I have a mixed flock with 3 chicks that are now 13 weeks old. I have oyster shell on another tub for the big girls to eat from. I have not seen them eating any of it. Could that be why they are not laying yet? Today, what I did is offer them some raw milk Keifer and the big girls liked it. Later in the evening I brought out some sour milk curds. They liked that too. So I am going to continue offering them calcium in that form. Hope it helps. What do you think? Could it be a calcium issue?

I've got you all beat --- NO eggs here at 27 wks and 24 wks. My buff Orpington is 27 wks. I have a New Hampshire, a Delaware, a silver Wyandotte and 2 Easter Eggs that are 24 wks.

I've read your threads and have decided, all of our chicks are spoiled! I give my 19 week old chicks treats of all kinds hoping for some signs they'll lay soon. Patience is a virtue I suppose!
