    Egg color for Rhode Island Reds

    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?

    Egg production

    I have 20 pullets 26 weeks old. They have been laying for about 2 months. I was getting 15 to 17 eggs per day. A few days ago I switched them to laying mash plus it has been getting about 30 deg at night. Their production has dropped to 9 or 10 per day. What do you think might be the reason?

    shape of eggs

    I have some hens which just started laying. Every once in awhile I get a small egg which is mis-shapen and has a crinkly shell. Is this an anomaly or is the hen defective and will always lay this type of egg?

    size of eggs.

    I have 6 red sex-links and 6 White rocks. They are all 22 weeks old and started laying at 18 1/2 weeks. The White Rock eggs are much smaller than the sex-links even though they are much larger birds. . Will the Rock eggs get bigger as they grow older and is it because the Rocks are slower...

    Too many eggs.

    I keep reading where members say they get more eggs per day than they have hens. This is not possible. A hen can't lay more than one egg a day.

    sex of dominiques

    White leghorns

    I have 5 White Leghorns which I hatched. They are 3 1/2 weeks old and I can't believe how large they are. This is a small breed of chicken. One has a very visible comb and the other 4 don't. Does this mean I have only 1 rooster or might the others just be slower to develop? I have never raised...
