I hatched a Brahma bantum and a Columbian Rock this spring. I added a Silkie a few weeks later. There were no real problems until a month ago when I added a Chantecler rooster. The Columbian Rock is the boss hen. There were no noticeable problems before the introduction of the roo but now she...

I hatched the large white hen from an egg that was labeled Columbian Rock. I can not find this breed listed. Is it another name for a Delaware because that is what she looks like to me.

2 of my pullets have been laying for a few weeks now, the only problem is the eggs have a hard shell and once you get it cracked the membrane is real hard to get through. DW would rather have store eggs than deal with these. The girls free range and have grower finisher pellets in their...
