little miracles in our days. I understand I myself am battling cancer and my chickens are a source of relaxation and love for me. When I feel well enough I just sit out with them.
Funny because I ended up with quail, unexpectedly. It was a pleasant surprise I wasn't even thinking about them laying eggs, I don't know why. How many eggs for an omelet I wonder? Not that I could eat this one. I will have to blow it out and save it.
Hockychick, that is a typical age for some breeds to start , what type of hens do you have? Barred Rocks and Australorp are 2 breeds that start at 16 weeks. My cochins were much older
BTW I am from WC NJ

I have a black astrolorp and she lays very nice size eggs. so they will get bigger. and she lays everyday. Her name is Henny and I think she is my favorite.
Thanks for letting me share them. I say everyday is Easter around here. I do the egg hunt a couple of times a day and we never have to color them the girls are nice enough to deliver them that way.
So excited I was running around like a nut. We have been on an egg hunt for days and today right on target I found two in the hen house. Ran around carrying them for a while and couldn't think of who to call to share my excitement. After all I waited 25 weeks! Then I remembered all the chicken...
