Good info mine came from a member in Longview who is no longer one here but they have started laying think I may give a few eggs to my silkie see if Red has been doing more than the OE I have

Welcome!

Hatching eggs might be hard to get at this time of year. The cold and light effects rooster fertility as well as hens.

I'm lucky to get a large egg every other day right now. Only 2 are laying that are 1.5 years. Another that age is still caring for her chicks. The rest are between 5 and 9 years old. I don't expect the oldest to lay at this time of year, their job is to keep control of the flock as one is the lead hen.

He has been mounting my 5 year old EO he is EE she lays nice mint green still why do boys always go to her just befuddles me

Some hens are just easy. I had one that was getting too beat up because of that. She's the reason I had to get extra durable hen saddles with wing covers.

He isn't that tough on her no ruffled feathers at all knocked him off poor guy sent him running not in front of me you don't
