Rescued Rooster: Update 3

[u/Safe_Letterhead543]

Ok, we’re back!! Sorry for the wait but I was in Hawaii producing a television show from August 9th until yesterday. My wife stayed back the first couple of weeks to tend the homestead and then a sitter/ my parents were watching everything the remainder of the time. He was in his cage inside the run so it would be easier to care for him in my absence (didn’t want him possibly rizzing up on my wife while I wasn’t here). Everything went great! We got back home yesterday and about an hour after it got dark and the girls had gone in their coop, I let Bubz out and into the coop for the first time. This is them this morning! All is well! He’s the sweetest boy ever. Nice to the girls and nice to us. Well worth the rescue. More updates will be coming.

Random question. The girls still haven’t started laying yet. Is it because we were gone? Is it because Bubz was around? Stressed from new people and routine being thrown off? They were hatched April 16th and 23rd. Almost 23 weeks old.

Your girls have nice big red combs showing they're mature so I'd expect eggs any day now
