Hen Breed: Black Australorp
Age: 23 weeks
Rooster Breed: N/A
Age: 23 weeks
What I have noticed: My rooster and hen are perfectly fine and are doing well, they are healthy and fit. I did research and looked at forums/videos about their age, egg laying, and behavior. I noticed that my hen has had her comb/wattle more firm, puffed, and red recently. I heard that this can mean she I closer to sexual maturity, I also read that It can indicate that she Is close to laying eggs. My rooster hasn't really changed much, although his comb/wattle is more red.
My questions: If she ends up being/becoming mature and lays eggs, how should I approach It, If the rooster and hen mate, what should I do about the eggs. I am still new and not too smart about this, so sorry If I ask dumb or simple questions.
If you need photos or any more Info feel free to ask me!
