We also have 6-month old "freeloaders" and I had to {finally} resort to buy yucky white fake eggs. And we have 30 chickens! We also have one, our hen Israel, who is broody and into week 2 on a nest. {I also just did a Blog post about our other similarities...and linked it to you.} Nice to FINALLY check in, dear friend!Sherry Sutherby http://russ-stickacres.blogspot.com/https://www.blogger.com/profile/05464706618501384881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-42028964888081529.post-17417186021153545542013-11-20T21:47:22.332-06:002013-11-20T21:47:22.332-06:00I'll give you a laugh.

Store bought eggs are on our grocery list now a days. I'm giving them a home and feeding them well but they have become pets. I have thought about cooking them or finding them a new home. But guilt keeps me from doing either. The kids named them as chicks. They come when called by name. I guess I'm boarding a retired flock. Hope you get some real eggs soon. Prayers continue.A Primitive Homesteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06205375008312950661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-42028964888081529.post-23953016764154082662013-11-20T15:00:06.769-06:002013-11-20T15:00:06.769-06:00We have a flock of 6 month old replacement pullets...We have a flock of 6 month old replacement pullets, and MIGHT have gotten our first egg this morning. Not sure yet. I've found if we get chicks that turn 6 months old around August/September, then we will get eggs before Thanksgiving. If they wait to hit the laying age until after October, we've always had at least a couple start laying (very few eggs), but most seem to wait until days get longer in early spring. I'm amazed we are still getting any eggs at all (2-3 a day out of 17 hens), though, as we have locked ours in a dark barn for the winter, so their daylight is very limited. Hopefully, we will have better accomodations next winter.Red Gatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13328604145699224503noreply@blogger.com
