WoW! 5 months isn't bad for the first egg's. It's been years since I've had any birds. Had a few when I was a teen. Love the RR's and those brown eggs. I'm also going to have some meats birds. Just enough to fill my freezer for the year. I hate having meat birds around and butchering them one at a time. To much work for just a couple of birds. Better to grow a bunch all at once and then process them and freeze them.
The egg layer's get to tuff as they get older. Good for smoking, but not as good as a meat bird. Where are you buying your feed from? Are you getting a organic or just the regular old basic chicken feed? Thanks for the info. Enjoy your fun with your Chick's
Take care,
Steve
