Donna C Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Hi all, My oh emerged from the garden with a lovely 1st egg from our orpingtons. After so many ups/ downs what with loosing all our ex-batts, then loosing a baby orpington we now seem to be back on track . But now i'm wondering do i change them both to layers pellets or keep them on growers for a while, they are about 27weeks old. It's so great and magical to get eggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Congratulations . Lovely news after all your sad events . Mine were all given layers when I got them at 18 weeks . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Orps are slower to develop, so 27 weeks is still quite young. Maybe do a half growers/half layers mix for a while Exciting, first egg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
