Ain't Nobody Here Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Apart from lack of eggs, do your hens appear to be energetic and happy? [/color] Yes, they seem full of beans and charge around the garden, scratching at everything in sight, although Molly (the only one who's laid anything) is much more timid than she used to be. She no longer crouches and won't come near me even for mealworms. As far as I can tell, she's eating pellets & drinking normally. The younger two are about 24-25 weeks - do you know if they are likely to start laying before the winter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 We Eglu owners care about our hens, they have more to offer than being egg machines, the eggs are a bonus not a prime function. I couldn't have put it better myself Mary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
