atsw Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Hannahs comb is getting redder by the day That's the sign I always look for. We have two Buff Orpingtons, who stopped laying at the end of November and re-started about two or three weeks ago. While on their 'winter rest' their combs went quite pink. Then, once they days started getting longer again, I noticed that they suddenly whet very red again and grew larger. It almost happened overnight. About 10 days later and egg production re-started.

PurpleTree Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Could some of you not move to my village so you can pop round and give me advise every day! x Where do you live? Maybe there is someone who lives near you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffyknickers Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 Or am I the only chicken keeper in the village!!!! I live in a village in Chelmsford in Essex. Bless my Nugget was crouching for britain today and I only had to walk outside and she did her little crazy tap dance. The funniest thing happened as the two did a little mini tap dance as well like they were trying to copy her. x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Why not go to an omlet get together, check the section at the bottom of the board index. If not one in your area, start one. You will be surprised how far Omleteers will travel to talk chicken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
