Lunch in the garden

Is it ok to give them boiled eggy sometimes and is there anything else i can give them for a change?other than chick crumbs

I love all the photos Fruity especially the look on the face of one of them in the garden

you could give them moist bread crumbs, bits of squished corn but they will be happy with chick crumbs too

They are gorgeous Fruity

Dried mealworms for a treat

They go mad for them, not too many though just a couple each

They'll play chase trying to get them off each other

It'll be ages before you can tell if they are boys or girls. Buff Orps are one of the most awkward breeds to sex! I hatched 5 for my mum last year and we thought wee had 3 girls and 2 boys, but now at least 4 are laying and we can't tell them apart so we now think they are all girls!

That means i will never want to part with any boys (i already dont)
Keeping everything crossed here!

How long do they take to fully mature?and when do they start laying eggs?
