    I have 2 Doms - a hen and a roo - that are about 7 to 8 months old. The hen is laying an egg every other day. I started out with 5 Doms but 4 of them turned out to be roo's so I got rid of Moe, Larry, and Curley and kept Ralph and Alice. I would like to have more eggs and I know of someone...

    Chicken has been crowing non-stop! Terrible news.

    I had a simular situation happen to me but instead of hatchlings it was pullets and the seller swore they were hens and was quick to inform me that he has been raising chickens for better than 20 years.
