1 brown (1L)
Some of the pullets didn't have white zip tie markers, now all of them are tagged as 2009 chicks with white zip ties on their right legs.
The 18 month hens are molting. So small egg production will be off for a bit... and they're getting old enough that they should be laying larger eggs.
Pullets could start laying in the next month or so, not counting on it until next equinox.
For perspective chicks hatched April 20, 2008 began producing eggs September 19, 2008. 5 months. Pullets hatched June 14,2009 - 5 months is November 13. Since egg laying is sensitive to photo cycle production may be delayed. I also expect the ramp up would be slower if any pullets do start laying in 2009.
