My little Lily, a silkie, who for most of her 5years has been barren... gave me one beautiful egg last year. A few weeks ago she started laying, I have had one egg from her every other day since!!! Mother Nature works in very mysterious ways

Well! :blink:
Next time someone asks why their pullet didn't start laying on the very day the breeder promised, I will point them to this post and suggest they should keep waiting for the next five years!

Do they taste nicer, like a fine matured wine?!!!
