Any last minute advice?

Did he say how old they are? How big are their combs. Maybe not a good time of year for eggs but lets hope one starts soon (our Bluebell was a bit slow to get going)

They are just coming up to 19 weeks. He thinks the Bluebell may lay soon.

My Bluebelle despite being the biggest of the flock was the last to start laying, so be patient And oooo, a Columbine - they lay a olive green/blue egg ... I was tempted to get some but I heard they are very flighty and when I visited the farm to buy some feed, I wandered into the shed where they keep the stock to have a peek just as a couple were buying some. The owner had to use a big net to catch them (normally they catch them by hand or corner them into special runs) which put me off them.

Good luck with the new girls, and have lots of fun. Don't forget to

This one was easily picked up but will probably be a bit of a card when it's older. The one that escaped when he opened the cage thing was typically the White Star. That liked us too but I am too novice for one so flighty lol

I have had my Bluebell since January and she started laying in March. She has only missed 3 days since,
The only thing is she is so nervous and thinks I am the wicked witch and hides when I go into the garden..She is beautiful though and I would gladly get another.

So far it's the Light Sussex and the Columbine who are nervy. The Light Sussex more so.
