Title: Have your chickens started laying yet?
Post by: New shoot on February 10, 2024, 15:13

Mine are bantams rather than hybrid layers and so take some time off over winter.  Today they were making a fuss and I assumed there was a cat in the garden.

After stomping out there and discovering these,  I had to stop muttering ‘darn chickens’ under my breath and go fetch them the afternoon snack of corn they were demanding  :lol:
