When my friend got her chickens last summer, I wondered when they were likly to start laying eggs. My friend said that although they might start laying at five months or so, she thought that the short days of winter would prevent them from doing so. One of them proved her wrong last week. So far, all the eggs (nine so far) seem to come from one hen, since they are uniform in size and color.
Even dozen now from the last 13 days. They are confined to their house today because of the weather. Maybe Cassiroll will be a good example to Martha Stewer and Sunny Sideup and they will start laying too. Even so it is time to start sharing the booty. Bring an empty egg carton with you next time you come out.
