Chicken Kitty Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 This is my lovely Violet ..... I have noticed that she seems to be looking more 'mature' but she hasn't started laying yet (she is almost 25 weeks).....I was wondering if any of you experienced chicken keepers could tell me if she looks 'mature enough' to start laying soon?

Sam Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Yes! So white I tried to wash my Whitey earlier and got soaked Keep her away from mud! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daphne Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 She looks absolutely gorgeous; I have the large fowl version She looks nice and ready, lovely red comb Off topic a bit, yesterday I read about a French woman with 4 children, Achille, something, something and Violette; I thought Violette sounded a really nice name. Coincidentally my great grandmother had 3 first names (can't imagine why) including Violet and Blanche, and I have just realised how appropriate that would be so I am going to pinch Violet/Violette for a white sussex girl who currently goes by the name of Timid Hen Thank you!

Snowy Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 What a pretty little hen! And yes, I would say eggs are fairly imminent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
