    How many eggs should ex battery hens lay?

    Jh to Nenad - My guess is that your ex-battery hens are spent production birds. They are bred to lay like crazy for a certain period of time. Then, they are are sold to you or others or sent to processing plants were they end up in soups, pot pies and chinese cuisine.

    HELP with ventilation please, frostbite on comb

And if your are adjusting your feed program, do so. Feed alot of whole and cracked grain at evening feeding...

    OEG yellow legs

    OEG game standard breed is white legged. American Games is what it sounds like that you have. The yellow legged stag(cockerel) is probably a strain(breed) of three different strains or more. And the pullet is still a different strain of American Gamefowl again.

    Help me identify my 'so called Black Shamos'

    Ideal Poultry will NOT message or call me back on what they have in their breeding pen that they sell as Black Shamos, but you see what I got. You can bet I will never buy from them again. I am really disgusted with them.
