Seedlings growing, more seeds started, chicks growing, chicks incubating. We're trying one more time to hatch an egg from our Turken chicken (naked neck) who is now 7 years old and a favorite of ours. NEVER successfully hatched an egg of hers despite trying several times over the years. Now she is old and rarely lays but during spring break I caught her laying a couple times so snagged those eggs and a few others to incubate. Why IS she still laying at 7. I don't know for sure but I think many of our old hens ages 6-8 still lay on occasion because we give them winters off and let their bodies decide when to lay rather than using artificial lighting to cause them to lay during winter.
