Wait! It gets worse!

So I went to another urban chicken class yesterday, this time hosted in the back room of my neighbor’s coffee shop in Belltown. Again, I asked my basement-to-coop-transition question. I liked this answer even less…24 weeks!

Oh, no!

Look at this chicken…

This is what 4 weeks looks like (give or take a few days). And 20 weeks is an average age for the start of egg production (I say average because I fully accept that the ladies will begin laying whenever they darn well feel like it, and not a day sooner…and I’m fine with that).

I feel like I’m flying blind a bit here.

Let’s all crowd together now…
