What age do brown chickens lay eggs?
Chickens, whether the chicken is brown, white, blue, red or, or... all start laying eggs when they are mature enough to do so. The average age for chickens to start laying eggs is 5-6 months of age. You will notice the wattle and comb begin to appear more red than pink as they become more developed and distinct. This is an indicator that the young hen is about ready to start laying. And brown chickens don't necessarily lay brown eggs. It's a common misconception. Brown Leghorns, for example, lay white eggs just as their white colored counterparts do. The color of egg the chicken will lay coincides with the color of the earlobe. A white earlobe = white eggs. Colored earlobe = brown or tinted eggs. Hope this helped!

Can chickens eat cheese?
Yes of course! chickens will eat almost any scraps, thus making them good, diverse animals to keep. They can definitely eat white cheese because there is no dye in it. We tried this with our chickens. Our chickens went mad for the cheese. The one that got almost all of them was our chicken, Chicken Licken. She is white. We notice that chickens that are laying eggs need more protein than our other chicken Chimpmunk who is four months old and not yet laying eggs. Our third chicken, Feather, she eats a lot of worms and stuff (slugs, etc.) and she's laid the most eggs. Because they are so precious we haven't eaten them (the eggs) yet.
