Such a shame

Only one of my 6 eggs hatched and I think it is a roo. Can anyone confirm please.

I suspect this 7 week old Easter egger to be a rooster. I am hoping not. Any help please?

No not molting it's beginning of summer here.

Their coop is predator proof and I only have two hens of laying age and I am getting the egg everyday from the other one. She seems healthy in every other way eating well etc. I can't imagine why she has stopped laying. The only thing that changed is that I went away for 4 days and my son took...

No I thought of that. They are in a large pen.

We are in So Cal so plenty of daylight and she is getting layer pellets and oyster shell so I am at a loss to why this is happening. Worried it could be something wrong with her. She seems healthy and is eating fine.

No not broody. She hasn't laid an egg for nearly a week now

I am in San Diego my 7 month hen has been laying regularly for 3 or 4 months and has just stopped. She is not molting and seems in good health although I have noticed she seems to be drinking a lot. Any idea?

Thanks. Yes she has yellow feet. I was just surprised that she is not bigger at 6 months I thought they did majority of growning by then and just filled out after. She has also just started to squat so I imagine getting ready to lay.

Can anyone tell me what breed this chicken is. She is supposed to be a Jersey Giant but she is 6 months old and same size as my barred rock. She has yellow skin, a green tinge to her black feathers in the sun but I was expecting her to be bigger by now.

The hen on left is supposed to be a Jersey giant. She is 6 months and same size as my barred rock. She has yellow undersides to feet and a green sheen in sun to her feathers. Any ideas?
