I have owned lots of large size R.I.R. hens and they have always laid a fairly dark brown egg. I recently bought some Bantam R.I.R. for hatching and they are ivory. Are they different color or did I get ripped off?

I have 3 young dominique pullets. They are fine in the house but when on the nest they are very agressive and will peck the crap out of your hand. I have 9 breeds and they are the worst.

What is meant by squatting?

They've been laying for 3 months.

I have an interesting story. Among my hens I have 6 Red Sex-links. I bought them as chicks in April. They have been laying a large brown egg since late August. I have always kept a light on in my coop and had noticed that early in the morning the large brown eggs were there but I hardly ever...
