I have five laying hens. The dominant hen who lays the largest egg (she is part polish and perhaps part BSL - she has a black and white speckled crown), was mounting the Wyandotte hen that lays the next largest egg.

Both the female and the male look very similar in early stages. This chick is now 45 days old. I have looked...

Very new never owned chickens, but hatched two last month. I will show a photo of them when they hatched and then all the other images are at one month age. We thought from our attempt at a vent test, that the black one is a male and we named him Peepers hoping we could convince him to be a...
