I'm in NJ.
I got 2 chateclers & 1 barred rock in April
And I just got 2 leg horns & a Rhode Island Red the other day.
There is a 3 pullet minimum at the agway near me.
I'll have 9 all together once these chicks move out to the coop. My other 3 girls are from last spring.
My buff Orpington seemed to be plucked bald on her back about 4 months ago by my Roos. I got rid of them. Her feathers have still not grown back. But when it does seem like feather fuzz growing it's gone next day. She's a great layer. And seem heathy otherwise. Just semi bald.
