Another way is the equals sign = with a squiggle over it-- like an S on its side. ## The word about is abbreviated as: abt. (The dot at the â¦end shows that the sequence of letters is not a word in itself, but stands for one.) Ca. is the abbreviation for Latin circa, which means about.
Female ducks will start laying anywhere between 6-8 months old. Her first year of life, my runner female laid about 100 eggs in total, with a few days break between 2 weeks of laying. Her second year (which is often the most productive) she laid about 300 eggs.
Either your chickens are too old or too young; in both cases they wonât be laying any eggs for you. Young hens or âpulletsâ, typically start laying eggs at 18-20 weeks old and their first season of laying will be their best. Trying to encourage a pullet to lay before they are 18 weeks old is futile because their bodies havenât developed enough to lay eggs yet. Once a hen gets to around 4 years old the amount of eggs that they lay starts to slow down considerably and you will find they donât lay that many eggs anymore.
