My pullets are five months old. I suspect they will soon be laying. Should I start feeding them oyster shells and laying feed now or should I wait until the first few eggs. They are housed in their chicken tractor and free range an hour or two during the day. Thank u for any help.
It seems to be responding to a rooster crowing down road. It doesn't do it but once or twice then it quits. It doesn't sound like a rooster...however it is the dominate chicken in the coop. I will attempt an enlarged photo. Thank u so much for your response.
Thank you so much...I have just uploaded another pic of my second chicken in question. It can be heard crowing in the a.m. but it does not sound like a rooster. It does not do this daily.
Hello, I am trying to determine the gender and breed of the two chickens in the attached pictures. They are five months old. Thank you for any help and I apologize if my photos did not upload.
