Not sure if you can see the spots, but this is from a wellsummer. The spots are grey, shouldn't they be dark brown? Worried about the girls. Don't want anything to be wrong.
I've done it! I got 2 more wellsummers! I'm loving this! I was worried I wouldn't get enough eggs, but I got 2 dozen in a week, so I think they are doing good. Is there any benefits to having a rooster other than fertilization? Not sure I'm ready for a rooster yet.
Any tips on feed I can prepare at home? Not a big fan of commercial food. I don't like over processed food for my family, and don't think it's great for my hens either.
They just started laying, so they are not very old. They did all come from the same place, and they were very well cared for. Their first day in their new home, they each gave me an egg. I was really surprised, as I'd been told they may need a couple days to acclimate to the new environment
HI, I am new to the chicken scene, but I'm super excited! I got 4 hens Saturday a barred rock, black sex link, wellsummer, and a buff orpington. I can't wait to get more girls to add to my flock!
