Lindyloo Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Hi, Please can you tell me what is the expectancy term for egg laying? 1, 2 or 3 years? We live in a very compact estate and to keep the hens quite this summer I made a 'blackout curtain' instead of the door and a 'blackout cover' for the eglu. This stopped the early rising from 4.45 am until 6.20 am. My neighbours are friends again!! I just love my hens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
