Can someone tell me what kind is this hen? - Page 2

Looks like a hen in laying, close to a year old, maybe a little over? 

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change; 
courage to change the things I can; 
and wisdom to know the difference.

In Jesus name Amen :)

In the picture was around 3 months old, now is 6 months. It was very worn out when I got it, at the time of the picture, now is 3 months later and her feathers are very nice, the color hasn't changed though.

It's a great layer, I had it for 3 months, and the lady who sold it to me said she was 3 months old at the time...

Wow, that's an aweful mature Hen for 3 months in that pic, at 3 months she wouldn't be laying, so it couldn't be a POL comb and waddles. I don't think the lady you got it from knew hold old she was. I'm still guessing she'd at least have to a year old. I have 3 hens that are right at that age actually a little over a year and are Identical, the person I got mine from had about 20 to 3 ratio, 20 being roos, so I think Iv'e saved them, lol.

Lol, We're all human  smile.png, I would like to see her now as well, I believe she was way older in the first pic than what she was told.

if she was laying when the op got her then she was at least 6 months of age if not older as most pullets will start to lay around 6 months of age
