    Pulley or rooster?

    I would say I think she's a pullet. Her comb still seems small. A roosters would be larger.

    What Gives? Eleven 24 week old hens with one small egg laid and nothing since?? (8 days and countin

    Yes don't worry this is normal hens start to lay at many different ages (from 5-8 months) just don't rush it they won't be regularly laying in the beginning but they will get there:)

    Eggs left by hen for 72 hours...Are they still viable?

    If they have not been kept at 90° they will not hatch

    The first egg

    I have a 5 1/2 month old barred rock that I am waiting on to lay. I was wondering what some signs are that she may have her first egg coming. Thank you for any help :)

    Silkies

    They were about 4 months when they crowed and 6 months when they first laid.

    Silkies

    They are too young to tell. Silkies are the hardest breed to tell whether they will be roosters or hens. For my silkies I had to wait until they crowed or layed an egg.

    Are my silkies growing?

    In Silkies it is VERY hard to know if they will be a rooster of a hen. There are signs but with mine I had to wait until they were about 2-3 months old. Good luck

    Are my silkies growing?

    They are about the size they are supposed to be. They are a small breed so they will look small compared to other breeds.

    Rooster brooding eggs??

    IT is not unheard of for a rooster to help out a hen with brooding. It is most common in more timid, smaller breeds such as silkies.
