So I started feeding them soaked feed yesterday and we got [COLOR=FF0000]TEN WHOLE EGGS!!!!!!![/COLOR] (for the second time this month) out of the 35 "laying" hens. I'm so excited!!!!! Hopefully they will keep up this good trend!!!!!  

Wow!! That's awesome!

How old were all of your Orpingtons, Barred Rocks, and Rhode Island Reds when they started laying?

My Barred Rocks started the end of November. I got them as three-day old chicks May 1.

If you are interested in getting your flock tested for Avian Flu to help track the outbreak, here is a flyer -

Not promoting or anything, I know little about it. But I figure I would try and help the cause and signed my girls up.

My Rhode Island Red started laying at 17 weeks, but she is more or less a freak of nature. She was so big by 3 weeks we thought she'd end up crowing instead of laying an egg. She is a good layer now, but her eggs are still on the small side.

The RIR/RIW started at 22 weeks. Her eggs were big from the start and she was a great layer. Unfortunately she became suddenly ill and we lost her at just 9 months old. She was one of our favorite hens. Luckily she has some great babies running around already.
