I simply don’t believe it
Sam the rooster was in the henhouse making a terrific noise this morning. To the point I finally checked him out. He was sitting on THIS! And no, I’m quite sure he didn’t lay it himself.
If the seller was right, these two ladies are now three months old. That simply can’t be. Point of lay is, on average, six months. Up to nine months for a silky. I asked around Facebook and nobody has ever heard of a hen laying before four months (and that’s a bit of a freak).
The obvious answer is that I misheard him or he was misinformed and one or both of them is actually four months old. But Winneretta, the little pekin, is the most likely culprit and she’s just over half the size of a full-grown bird.
I’m astonished. [insert thesaurus.com list of synonyms for ‘astonished’]
