Silly Question
« on: September 25, 2007, 13:19 »
I'm very new to keeping chickens, got 6 POL just over a week ago.  Each day since we have been blessed with 5 lovely brown eggs.  My question is this, all the chickens are the same age, 22-23 weeks so do they take it in turns to have a day off or do you think one might be a dud?  Not complaining just interested to know.  Since I have had the chickens I really do not want to go out to work in the mornings, I just want to stay at home and watch my girls!
Wish I was at home with the chickens!

But sometimes, when they first start to lay, it takes them a while to get in the swing of things.  So one may lay an egg one day, then it'll take her a few days to lay another.

When you have a lot of chooks, it'd be nice if you could put a different colour dye or something on their rear ends then when the egg is laid, you'd know by the colour on it, which chook laid it!!!!

Hey I could be rich!!!!!   I'll patent that idea straight away!!!!   :lol:  :lol:
