You want these chickens? They're free...

Do you know how old the white hens are? If they're already "spent," that would explain why your neighbor was giving them away.

All were purchased 1 year ago as day old chicks from Murry McMurry Hatchery.


ETA: The fellow I got them from would not do that. Known him for years.

Well, then, they are checking out the nesting boxes, they will be laying soon.

Sounds like Chicken Math caught up with him! It gets us all, sooner or later ... sigh ...
Since your girls are still youngsters, I'll bet they'll be laying shortly. Some are just later bloomers than others.
Good Luck!
