feemcg Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Just to give some hope to those who feel as if their chickens are never coming into lay, especially at this time of year - last week Eddi, my Buff Sussex started laying, a couple of days ago her 'twin' Annie and today (after much running around the garden and squawking ), KT the Wheaten Maran (all from the same hatch, 30 weeks old) .

Tina C Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 One of my baby bantams started laying this week too - a big surprise as they are still quite young (I am guessing 20 weeks). I had noticed she was becoming much more friendly and then there it was - 25g and very cute! The presence of a cockerel may have helped things along (but he still has to go ). I now have 6 hens laying but its still a thrill every time you get a new layer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeckyBoo Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Yes, one of our bantams has started laying this week - she's a light sussex and I had no experince of bantam eggs - they're much bigger than I expected Mrs Bertie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
