    Sex-Links = short life span

    I did purchase some chicks this spring, some ameraucanas, EE's and 3 cream legbars, none are laying yet. The EEs are 22 weeks old now so hopefully will start soon, the others are a month or more younger. I'm hoping by fall my egg production is back up! Thanks for your reply!!

    Sex-Links = short life span

    Hi, I also have red sex link hens that are soon 2.5 years old. Some are not laying at all, out of 9 hens we get 3-4 eggs a day on average. How long did your red sex link hens live? Ours have turned into pets, so I will be keeping them til they die of old age...just wandering how long that will...

    Is your white one a roo or a hen do you know yet? I'm guessing I have 4 roo's and only 1 hen, if that's the case I'm going to have to get rid of 3 roo's I love mine too, they are so friendly and pretty

    How long is too long?

    Thanks very much for your information. I'm going to take the egg away, hopefully that will break her.

    How long is too long?

    Do you think I should just leave her then? I have some chicks that I hatched in the incubator,they are 1 week old. Do you think I could possibly do a switch, take the egg and leave her a chick? I also have a roo and a hen with a week old chick in the same coop. Would they hurt the new chick if I...

    How long is too long?

    Hi, I have a Silkie sitting on 1 egg (I was collecting them, then noticed she had gone broody) She has been sitting on it for almost 4 weeks Should I take it away or will she decide for herself it isn't going to hatch and abandon it? Please help!! Thanks :)

    Ameracanas or EE?

    Do you have any advice on how and when to move them into the coop with my existing flock? They are outside in a run in the daytime and at night I put them in the barn,but I would like to put them in the coop ASAP! Thanks for your help

    Ameracanas or EE?

    The black one and the brown one both have muffs, so could those be ameraucanas? This is my first time having this breed, I've only had red sex link til now, so I appreciate any pointers I can get!!

    Ameracanas or EE?

    Thanks for the warm welcome It would be great if they are all pullets. I was just out to the coop and heard one of them trying to crow, but I hear that even pullets will try that when they are young. I'll keep you posted
