I had my second pair lay yesterday, they are a bit slower going down than I'd have liked but to honest they are all young hens and the environment isn't the best. I am going to keep them but as a couple more pairs of my race birds have laid I'm going to give these first round eggs to them after a couple of weeks and will let the stock pairs go down again.

Early days, Trev. Those young hens will be fine once you get to the second round.
