Chicks Becoming Egg Layers

Since the previous post, the young ladies have blossomed into egg layers. Expect eggs from smaller breeds as early as 4 months. The eggs will be quite cute.
The rewards of proper food and fresh water for the youngsters will be realized in their delicious eggs. Also, provide ample space in their laying area and play zones. A private setting is good for egg layers to reduce stress, as well.
This winter's forecast is said to be cold. Don't be alarmed if the chickens stop laying. It may have more to do with the change in daylight hours.

Here are some pictures from August and September. The young hens are out in a section of their play area.
