I'll check later for feathers. They are in a secure coop and run (run = 9'x21', coop 6'x8' w/5 nest boxes) No signs of any shells or wet spots. I did find 2 eggs yesterday.
Thank you for the info, I'll see if it continues.
I have 2 general age groups in a flock of 10 layers. One group is up there at 5 to 7 yrs old. The other group is from May 2024 so 1yr 4 mos. The older ones were still laying up to some mos back but few and far between but I was getting almost 2 to 4 eggs every day from the younger ones. Now...
Here's #2. I picked what a hoped would be an olive egger and a blue red laced Wyandotte. One turned out to be a Cream Legbar Rooster. This was the other one. Is it the Wyandotte?
Thanks to all. looks like I may have a Crested Legbar Roo to rehome.
Anybody in NJ interested?
What age do Roosters start mating? Maybe I can get some fertile eggs before rehoming (I have a Cream Legbar hen)
These are almost 7 weeks old. Can anyone confirm the breeds and take a stab at sexing them? (They were bought as pullets but you know how that goes, only 90% accurate.)
Here’s the 1st:
Here's my group who are now almost 7 years old. That's 2 of them in my Avatar when they were less than 1 yr. The 2 in front are offspring of the roo and either the orange and white or her sister who we lost to a predator.
There was a TV show with the same premise, reenacting actual deaths. I think it may have been called "A 1000 ways to die" or something like that.
There was also a comedie movie called "A thousand ways to die in the West" It was stupid but funny.
