Yes the egg was brown.

I was surprised as well. The eggs I bought from the grocery store were actually organic eggs. Only one egg out of eight hatched. As for the breed of the white pullet it's a Rhode Island White then, right?

Yes indeed. Thank you then. :-)

Thanks for helping me out!

Here is a video of my chickens that was taken the 23rd of November 2017...

Ok, but why can't I post any longer? I keep getting this message: "This message is awaiting moderator approval, and is invisible to normal visitors."???

Thanks for your response! How surprising, I was convinced that the red on was a female... I'll try to find pictures of them standing on the ground. As for their age they are all 5 months old.
