My mongrel hens are now about 3 months or so old, the nights are getting longer, they go to bed very early and I dont want to install a lighting system - might just as well buy eggs. So - they're pet hens. Any chance of any of the four producing anything, anytime? suse Back to top Knobby Joined: 13 Apr 2005 Posts: 6707 Location: North Warwickshire Posted: Fri Oct 07, 2005 9:32 pm    Post subject: Yeah....dont worry too much....Ive got one who must be about 6 mnths now and still nothing !!!

One is a speckeldy black, the others are varying from white to half and half RIR - all sisters, mother RIR, the hussy.

THAT surprised me! Sorry - like the chickens, I dont have the equipment - to post pictures, that is. Tomorrow I'm buying my grandson a digital camera - perhaps he'll do it for me. My camera is still film based, and it costs a fortune to get piccies in suitable nick for PC posting. One day ... suse Back to top Knobby Joined: 13 Apr 2005 Posts: 6707 Location: North Warwickshire Posted: Fri Oct 07, 2005 9:58 pm    Post subject: IM MORPH !!!!
