I was so excited yesterday. I found 5 eggs! Of course they were not in the nests that I have made for them. I was beginning to think that Buffs don't lay eggs!
I got them in May, and it seemed like it took them longer to mature.
Happy Days now though!!

Put golfballs or plactic eggs in your nest boxes, that will usually get them to start useing the boxes.

Great news. I hope the buffs lay many more eggs for you and yours.

UPDATE!! I may never get another egg! The chickens got over into the pig lot. I am not sure we will be able to get them back. The pig lot is 1/2 acre, with mean ole pigs in it!!
Figures, I get excited about something and something happens!

You need to change your title to.. "Boo-Hoo the buffs are leaving!". They should be back when the sun goes down. They'll want their own "bed" tonight.

UPDATE FROM UPDATE! Chickens are back safe and sound. My wonderful husband chased them all around until they scooted back under the place they escaped from. It probably scared them to death. I might not get eggs for a few days. At least they are home. Sigh----
