Last night I got what was supposed to be 4 buff orp hens. One we were suspicious of from pics.Was told they were laying. 2 were said to be molting and looked like it.today in natural light of their quarantine coop,2 look questionable as to gender. If they are molting,they should be on their second laying season. They look very pale. All of them actually. We did the ivermectin drops on their neck,for parasites and wormed them this morning. I am giving them feed that is mostly 28% flock raiser, some 24% chick feed a little cracked corn for weight and scratch. Also pepper flakes and oyster shell. Droppings on one looked watery,nothing abnormal seen otherwise. All seem to eat and drink fine. Can anyone tell me if any of these look like roos? I was lied to before about orps being hens and am hoping these are indeed hens.the 2 seem to have slightly bigger combs,but not as big as when i got my boy that i was told a hen,before.
Also,their nails look a bit long,is it even possible that if any are roos,that their nails can get really long in just a few months?
