jomaxsmith Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 I got mine at the end of October and had to wait a long time for eggs (they come into lay later when the days are shorter). Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJuff Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Today! NOW! I don't think I could have waited for the spring! I bought some in October and in January! Patience never was a strong point of mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve. Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 All the time. (I win) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallina Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Spring is best, as you can get to know them better when there is more light and it isn't so cold. I just don't see much of my hens during the winter, and I am sure it must be harder to tame winter hens. But order them early, as everyone wants spring chicks.

mrs chook Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 ANYTIME! Probably spring-pol then they get into egg laying routine before longer nights/shorter days of autumn? Just a hunch tho, I say ANYTIME! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
