Good to hear you sold the Plucker Jim. I'm sure the new owner will get plenty of use out of it.
Just started getting pullet eggs from the chicks I picked up June 8. They look like blue pheasant eggs, but will increase with size as the girls grow older.
I've always felt the same about basketball, give them 100 points and let them play for 3 minutes.
I did start giving them black sunflower seeds so I'll see how long before I start seeing more than a few eggs from my 11 hens.
