    Chicken Trauma = No Eggs?

    Hey All, I had a major set back in the middle of June. A neighborhood dog got into my yard and killed 31 chickens. Literally the night before I had introduced 25 new layers that were just up to size. I have video surveillance and can see that in about 10 minutes the dog killed 31 birds even...

    Wellsummer hens?

    Thanks guys! Now that it was mentioned, I'm 100% certain! Case closed! Again, I have to thank BYC people for not making people feel stupid for asking questions.

    Wellsummer hens?

    Ahh. 1st one looks brown leghorn! That could also explain the extra white egg I've been getting the last few days! :)

    Wellsummer hens?

    They are from cackle hatchery and came in a hatchery surprise, so that would narrow down the available breeds. I'll have to look up some of their other breeds I haven't looked into But they definitely should be purebred of whatever

    Wellsummer hens?

    I thought these might be too wellsummer hens but the one has a much larger comb and I'm starting to think it's a rooster, but from what I can find online the roosters do not look like that. Pic 1is the first one Pics 2 & 3 are the second one Thanks!!

    Roo, right?

    One of them started laying Saturday. Awesome! Thanks again!

    I let them out every day but they are limited to a confined area of about 750 sq ft. I havent found any nests or eggs... Can chickens "hold" eggs? In other words if they are laying and I left them in the coop for a few days, they'd have to lay it if the egg is there, right?

    Thanks! You guys are great about not bashing newbies! I am part of another industry in the pet world and they like to eat each other alive for stupid posts/ questions... I appreciate it... Eventually I'll get it... and maybe more eggs... I guess the time of year may be causing them not to lay...

    Roo, right?

    yeah! I hope I'm wrong! They are 8+ months old I thought the combs were too big to be pullets... They are getting bright and I had one that I bought with them, that started laying 2 months ago...

    I wonder if I'll ever get it! lol I am always "almost positive" or "95% sure" Until I see them lay an egg or hear them crow... But really, there are some I know for sure... Promise :)

    Here are a couple California Whites, that were purchased as day old chics as pullets... any doubt that these are roosters? I didn't think I should waste everyone's time starting a new thread. I wanted to make sure before I sell them...

    Thanks Everyone! I was so sure, then the no spurs (or even knobs really) threw me... First go around with chickens. :)

    I feel dumb even asking but are these two Colombian Wyandotte Roos? I would expect a bigger knob where their spur is growing. No crowing yet (6-7 months old). Thanks for your help! Troy
