This blog is a journal of the simple living on a small 2 and a half acre farm. The ups and downs. The good and the not so good. Adventures of Hidden Haven animals and some of my own. The sharing of our frugal, hardworking, attempt to be as self sufficient as possible. Please stop by often as we love company!
Sharon, chickens usually start laying around 6 months of age. So around March they should start laying. She can start feeding them cracked corn or laying mash in Feb to bring their body temp up to want to lay.
Peggy, Nice family you have there! And I'm kicking myself for missing your drawing. I take a little break from blogging and this is what I get. :( Someone will really enjoy your goodies, though. Paula
I love to watch my chickens go to roost at night. I marvel at their internal clock that motivates them to retire as the light begins to fade. As they snuggle up the sounds of mutted clucks and purrs is like they are bidding good night to one another. It is such a calming sound.
Peggy, You sound like me telling all of the Family { birds } good night..My Sun Conure repeats after me and says "nite".. " nite "....so cute.The birds go to bed by 7pm to get their beauty sleep of 12 hours. Baba

My friend has chickens that hatched late summer, around the first of Sept. When will they lay, next spring or later?
Thanks

That is my all-time favorite kid's books. How sweet they all look preparing for bed. xo
