It's been cold here. Very cold. The last couple weeks have been miserable. Today, however, was beautiful! We got into the 50's with little wind and LOTS of sunshine. My family and I went to the local zoo, and the chickens enjoyed basking in the sun. I even let them out to "free-range" for a while this afternoon! They were thrilled!
Even with the crazy cold, we have been getting at least one egg a day. It appears that each of the older girls is laying every other day. In the cold we've been having that is IMPRESSIVE.
The "babies" are 16 weeks old now. Supposedly Buff Orpingtons start laying anywhere from 18 weeks to 24 weeks. I'm guessing it'll be closer to the 24 week mark for our babes because it is winter time. That should put us right around Easter!
