I thought chickens didn't lay eggs in winter, but apparently our little flock is confused. They stopped laying in late summer and just started up again. I also thought the chicks we hatched were too young to lay eggs, but apparently I'm confused....
The one little game hen I wasn't supposed to buy at the feed store is laying like a champ and they're the itty-bittiest eggs you've ever seen.
Totally not practical, but our flock has never been practical so I'm not worried about it. The chicken's name is Thimble and I'm told she'll sit on your finger like a parakeet. I'm so tempted to incubate a few of these in the spring, but that would be even less practical.
