I am not privy to their breeding habits, nor would it be polite of me to enquire.

Now now, no privy talk please. 
Anyone else read chicken chat as sounding like a type of curry? 
Yes they do, but the coop is on a concrete block, which is gold standard to stop that. The last owners put it in, we just need to build over its surface, which is in exactly 5m2, a nice walk in secure coop and I’ll repurpose the other, or sell it on. Sadly, as our house is still mid renovation, we get priority!!!
Ha ha, its not me, its just my phone! Until that last lot it was only in selfie mode it did it 
They’re a bit scrawny for that AM

Are you talking to them? Most domestic animals like that, it gives them vibes from you even if it’s a load of drivel. Our dog certainly doesn’t care as long as you’re talking to him.

Yes, I talk to Ruby (our Korthais Griffon dog) and the cats, especially Bobby. He is a real talker and I talk back to him in pussycat language. Years ago I had a siamese cat who could talk the hind legs off a donkey. Bobby is almost as bad !

Size is age of hen and breed, shell colour is entirely down to the breed.
They often lay double yolkers in the first few months of laying.
Once they are 2+ they may lay slightly fewer eggs but they will be a bit bigger.

We had a Burmese who was very chatty and quite loud. I don’t know what it is about the oriental breeds that makes them that way.
Of course!
Taken from the internet :
Oriental breed cats talk because they genuinely want to interact, share their thoughts, and maintain constant social connection with their humans. Their exceptional chattiness is primarily a direct genetic inheritance from their Siamese ancestors, who are the most notoriously vocal felines in the cat world.

That’s really interesting. Our last cat, Oscar, was a stray/dumped black and white cat who adopted us and he was wonderful, you could properly understand his different asks and he used to say thank you (it slmist sounded yhe same and definitely was as it was the same noise every time) when we let him out the door 
. I still miss him 3 years on

Those are very pretty, Rachel. 
They aren’t mine - just took stock photos from the internet.
I know, but they’re good examples of Burmese.

In my late teens we took on a small tabby. She was beautifully long and sleek and talked all the time so I think she had a bit of Siamese in her. She had a “hello” sound: prrr- yp, which she used all the time when she came running to find us.

I had a beautiful black blue/green-eyed half Siamese half farm cat who was looooooong and shiny and had the voice and everything else Siamese just not the colour. Fabulous cat.
