    Best dewormer for hens laying eggs?

    Thanks Rachel! Surprise, Susie the sussex laid an egg both yesterday and today! Guess she just needed a little time off. Everything seems normal. She's more vocal than any of the others and has a habit of shaking her head. :)

    Are these roos or hens?

    I adopted these from a 2nd grade teacher who hatched them with her students. Hatched May 1, now 17 weeks. I have 4 and they all look basically the same (here are 3 of the 4). I'm a new chicken owner & didn't think about the possibility that they might all be roos! Heard crowing and can't have...
