Thank you for sharing this post and your findings. I also have a healthy 2 year hen who has started laying soft-shell sometime almost no shell eggs. She has access to oyster shell, etc., so this gives me some idea of what may be going on.
Hi Everyone, glad to be part of backyard chickens. My daughter and I have been raising chickens for 5 years. We currently have 11, 10 hens and one potential rooster. We have mixed breeds and our very favorite is Penny, our 5 year old Buff Orpington. She jumps in my daughter's lap everyday...
Hi there, my buckeye is 13 weeks old, leaning towards rooster, but so far very friendly and curious. Tail feathers are pointed to me and neck feathers are very shiny but that doesn't mean it always a rooster. Any help is appreciated.
