Luvachicken Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Maybe she's working up to it and she'll lay you a Christmas egg! Yes, and maybe she'll learn to fly too Don't hold out much hope really, but then you never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjp Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 one of my CLB crosses came back into lay today first egg for 3 weeks after 2 of her sisters stated laying mid November laid 11 eggs between them then stopped one I think will re start in the next few days as both she and today's layer let the cockerel mate with them yesterday I think at least 5-6 of the others won't be far off as they've got the red welcome light on and one or 2 have started 'talking' again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
percy049 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Only just seen this - one of my hens started laying again on Christmas Eve Eve after her moult. Another hen is also crouching so hoping for her to start laying again soon as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Egg from my cuckoo Dumpie today!!!!!!!!!!!! Lucky you Any chance of a photo sparkysmum, I'd love to see what a cuckoo dumpie looks like Am just wondering if I am a bit muddled with a Scots dumpie or if you have a cuckoo chicken that is called Dumpie ?

Stagsbrae Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 My five bantams all stopped laying the day the clocks changed!!! Although my New Hampshire and Silkie have been laying for the past 4 weeks or so, either one or two eggs a day. However, when I went to close their door on the 28th there were three eggs! The third possibly from my Wyandotte, then last night I had a green egg (from my legbar) so the egg ramp overrunneth this week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Wow! My New Hampshire bantams aren't at all that productive. Although I do get the occasional egg again and suspect it's not only Cinnamon, but also Nutmeg who is doing something with eggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 Stagsbrae how does your CLB get on with your banties and how much bigger is she? Do you have photos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stagsbrae Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Not sure how to post photographs yet. Katie is a bantam too and bigger than my Wyandotte who had been my largest girl. I got Katie at the same time as Ella and Maisie and they all get on well together although occasionally she gets a wee bit pecky when they are getting treats and wants to get in first! Katie's eggs are are good bit bigger than the others eggs too and I must say they are a beautiful colour Will investigate posting pictures!

Chickabee Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 4 in lay now. One of my cheeky triplets made a nest under the pampas grass. Mullethunter are you thinking of getting a CLB I've got one. She's in with a mixture of banties a silkie and other breeds. Gets on just fine with them. I'll try to get a picture if you like. Actually she's not a pure, she's called a Jasmine, but pretty much the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted January 1, 2016 Author Share Posted January 1, 2016 That'd be great Chickabee so I could get an idea of sizes. I have 2 pekins and 2 Wyandotte bantams, and the breeder I got them from said a CLB might not be that much bigger than the Wyandottes. I'd love some different coloured eggs so ideally I'd have a CLB or Araucana bantam and a maran bantam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 At least with different coloured eggs you know who is laying what I heard someone else's chicken this morning singing the egg song. Let us know when you might get some Mullethunter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dancing cloud Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 We're back in eggs Nothing since mid-November when they both decided to have a mini moult, then one on New Years Eve from Marguerite and another on New Years Day, and one yesterday from Myrtle. Not exactly drowning in eggs yet, but at least we remember what they look like . Tasted good too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjp Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I've had girls start to lay again every day since and including new years eve 3 out of the 4 green egg layers plus my CLB and maran barnie cross and one of the none green laying clb cross I just need the one green layer and one non green layer clb cross to start and I can do a test hatch while I know who laid which eggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
