Young Hens Have Started Laying Eggs Already!

Thursday, August 20th, 2009

My new chickens are starting to lay eggs. They are small now, which is common, but will soon become normal-sized. Some of these hens are so beautiful, especially the Silver-Laced Wyandottes. They will lay a brown egg, when they start. The Leghorns are busy already, and will be my most-reliable layers. Next month, I will have to remember to set up a light and timer so they get enough hours of daylight to keep laying this winter.
