When will I set my last eggs for the year??!!???
December 31! Bwahahahahahahahah....
amen. i keep mine going as long as im getting or can get eggs. oh as far as integrating new birds i learned a trick a while back. wait til they have started getting their real feather no down. (about 1 1/2 - 2 months) when they are that big put them in the pen with the adults at night. they all wake up the next morning and none is the wiser. another trick is to put them in a cage in the pen a few days before doing this. if you familiarize the other birds to the presence of the other birds then they wont see them as outsiders. they will always get picked on thats how the "pecking order " is determined
