Peachy77 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Just for a bit of fun, thought I would ask who has the oldest Omlet girl. Our original pepper pot is 5 1/2. Thought this was a good age, but someone else I know has a girl that is 7 - not an omlet girl though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackrocksrock Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I have 2 of the original black rocks - not Omlet ones and they were 6 months when we got them in Feb 2008 so they are over 6 now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 One of my original pepperpots lived to be 5 and a half, she was top hen and a beauty. Pretty sure there's a few long lived ones out there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckmum6 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Not an Omlet, and long gone now, but I had a silver laced dotty called Rosie Red when I was five, she died when I was 14! So she was my oldest bird of 9, silver laced Dottie's are my favourite birds because of her . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peachachecha Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 would be interested to know if the girls are still laying in their old age, not that it matters, we would love them anyway. Just would be fun to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 My gingernut ranger lived to 5 1/2 but never laid a proper egg for last 4 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peachy77 Posted October 30, 2013 Author Share Posted October 30, 2013 Our 5 1/2 pepperot was still laying most days, but is moulting at the moment so has stopped. Hopefully she will still lay when she has finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Neither of my Omlet girls lived for a great number of years but they were great little characters especially Henny Penny the gingernut. I do have a Merrydale Sweetie from my original group so she is over 6 now and still lays a few eggs too, she is my friendliest girl.

Blackrocksrock Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 My two six year olds still layed this year - towards their moult which they are doing right now - I would get 2 eggs then 1 then 1 then none then 2 etc - it still kept the two of us in eggs - I hope when their moult is done that they continue to lay as they have done - they have been amazing chickens over these years and have supplied us with eggs galore. I have just had to buy some - boy is it hard to find nice ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
