I will send you some. My girl went broody recently so she's taking a break from laying but she will be back at it soon.<br />I learned the hard way about light colored birds attracting predators. My only white hen was the first to go and then the yellow ones and the silver one. My flock is pretty dark now. <br />Congrats on your new layers!!!!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12326069783582536184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628662603932607754.post-44195054775231353142013-09-30T21:33:15.106-05:002013-09-30T21:33:15.106-05:00I almost hate to say it ('cause come late Dece...I almost hate to say it ('cause come late December I will be hoarding every single egg I can get my hands on) but we're getting way too many eggs now and have been all summer. (Gee, could it be we've got too many hens for the number of eggs we need? Duh . . . ) Then we let two banties set on clutches this summer. One hatched out an only child and the other had quadruplets. We've simply got to get a handle on our chicken situation.

We gave the hens to my husband's boss who was looking to increase his flock and we have plenty - too many eggs most times and end up throwing some away. Now I'm trading them for crocheting lessons at work. The roosters we will eat. The only one I purchased (free really) was Bird, my cross beaked blind chick.Kathy Felsted Usherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10471923897561942341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628662603932607754.post-39543544007409334072013-09-30T10:10:45.959-05:002013-09-30T10:10:45.959-05:00My chickens have been a money pit this year too......My chickens have been a money pit this year too...at least the past 3 months they aren't laying well at all and (GOD FORBID !!!) I have had to buy eggs. They are awful. lol And expensive. (When did eggs get so expensive ??)
