Chook n Boo Mum Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 I get all sorts of ooohs and aaaahs and "what am I supposed to do with that !" when I pop the Pekin & Ara eggs in the boxes..I just fill the boxes in the order they are laid rather than selecting them specifically, unless a request is made of course 9/16 today , best so far this year Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gives a really selection to the box (had 1 negative comment from a friends MIL ) and they all want to know who laid what so they can look on the website Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken Shirl Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 I have 9 and they are all *Bitsas* but beautiful none the less. We only get an average of 4 eggs a day, which is quite enough for the two of us. Hoping to add to the flock in a couple of weeks, as Princessa is sitting on 5 of her own eggs. I am looking forward to seeing what she and Sir Minky produce. I am a tad as last year her eggs were not fertile Not too keen on the sex thing my little Princessa, but Minky has been seen to do the business with her quite a bit this year, so everything is crossed here. I am in awe of you guys out there with 80 plus hens. You have to be all day looking after them all. I know that you work and look after families as well. Incredible. Sorry for babbling on.

dannablue Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 I have 4 girls...a light sussex - Sybil, a buff sussex - Maude, a speckled sussex - Blotto, and a Welsummer - Clara. 3 out of 4 are laying but they are all crouching...think the speckled is the last to start. I have only had them 6 weeks but love them already and if I had the space would have more. In the future if and when I move I hope to have more space so will build up my flock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
