Hmmm...glad we now have our own chickens...we can't wait for egg production to begin so we are in sole control of our egg needs...
If you aren't raising your own poultry yet, perhaps now is a time to reconsider it...for your healths sake!!!
R Dean...
Amen to that! Yours should be laying pretty soon shouldnt they? They look about the right size. Their butts get bigger when they start laying. A lot like women actually...lol.
ReplyDeleteHahaha...wow, didn't know that Denise...thanks for sharing that info..LOL
ReplyDeleteAre you feeding your hens anything special??? Please let us know...
I'm right there with you R Dean! Our young hens have just started laying. Look at there combs. They will get extremely red when they are about to begin laying. Good Luck!
ReplyDeleteSFG, thanks for the tip, I didn't realize that, but appreciate it! This is why I blog, I learn so many tips about different subject matters that interest me...
ReplyDeleteJust feed them regular laying hen crumbles from Tractor Supply. Oh and watermelon, they love watermelon and corn on the cob. They like anything with seeds actually except for the green peppers hubby tried to feed them...I told him they wouldnt touch them and they didnt...more compost! We went to the local farmer's market and they happened to be throwing out some of the bruised veggies. Just have to ask and you'd be surprised what you can get for nothing! :)
ReplyDeleteDenise, thanks for the advice!!! We actually ran into a fellow at Tractor Supply that "used" to work there and "was" their expert chicken guy and he told us exactly that. So now they are on laying mesh...but still NO EGGS yet!!!
