blackgold Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I have 12 hens. 6 exbattery, 3 orpingtons, 1 Faverolles and 2 Merrydale Cresteds. They range in ages from 3 years down to about 8 months. In this last week I am getting 7-9 eggs a day!! Has spring come early? 2 weeks ago I was getting 2 if that. What has happened to the seasons. One of my Orpingtons is threatening to go broody as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saronne Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Mine are starting to lay again. I went from virtually no eggs (in the run up to Christmas) to about 6 eggs a day. No more egg drought! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylie1007 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Do your orpingtons and faverolle lay well? I have one of each and no eggs yet (still babies really at 20 weeks) so I'm really interested to know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
