stoobie Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Just a question - do rescue chickens usually lay eggs as soon as they arrive - are they still going if you see what I mean! We are getting 4 this weekend - not really for eggs more for pets, but I wanted to know if they lay straight away or will there be a period of re-adjustment?

Yolky Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I think, from what I have read, is that some lay straight away but some may take a little bit to get over the stress. Fingers crossed you will have eggs for breccy on sunday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancing cloud Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 One of mine laid me an egg in the cat-carrier on the way home and all the others laid on the first day, but I'm not sure how usual this is. Mine have never stopped laying (except Joy, who's now freeloading ) and average 4-5 eggs a day between them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
