Electricbarbarella Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 and how long do they actually lay for? I intend to keep mine as pets but i wondered if others do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandychick Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I just think of mine as pets and eggs are a bonus. When they stop laying they will still be doing some nice poo for the compost heap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 ours are pets so I agree the eggs are a bonus, I woulod love them even without their beautifull eggs, they make me laugh so much my tummy hurts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Some of my older girls aren't earning their keep any more. They are going to love out their retirement here. They've earned it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirl Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 One of my ex batts doesn't lay. OK I'd be a liar if I said it didn't bother me at all but I know she's done her bit before she came to me so she's my charity case. I don't know what I'd do if they all stopped though because I wouldn't want to buy eggs but don't want any more chooks. Actually I know what I'd do. I'd whinge a lot but love them all the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
