    What age do Buff Orpington’s usually start laying?

    Hi , my Buff Orpington’s are about 25 weeks old now and have layed no eggs as of yet. With darker nights setting in and nearly October will I have to wait for spring until I get their first eggs ? Not being impatient just curious as would like to hatch some eggs out in spring . Thanks

    Why are ducks so messy?

    I have 4 Aylesbury ducks and I’ve just given them fresh bedding there currently not outside at the moment as it’s too wet and within 1 hour of changing all there water , the water is already brown and muddy . How do they manage to make it so muddy when the hut is super clean?😂
