I have 5 white leghorns... when they started it was hit and miss for about 3-4 weeks. Now I get 5 eggs per day, but that changes sometimes depending on the weather and "their moods"... be patient, they will come and you will have more than you know what to do with

I thought the refrigerator stopped the process? Please explain... curious.. Thanks.

This morning, one of my girls kept squaking and squaking.... I thought she was egg bound, but when I went to check on her she was in her nest. The chicken beside her jumped down to come see me along with the rest but she stayed and walked back and forth in the two boxes then sat back down...

Those are darling! I just hatched some new baby silkies last Friday...
