We have ten hens in a coop and a large fenced run. They have plenty of room, plenty of food/water and crushed oyster shell. They were all purchased as baby chicks (Red Sex Links) this spring and have all been laying for probably three months. I believe that it's just one hen but almost every...
That's all I know. The black one is a lace something, no feathers on the legs, tail is shaped in a "V". Came from the Tractor Supply "assorted Bantam bucket.
