    Our big red hen is 26 weeks old now but hasn't laid an egg yet. Her face and comb have been this red for around the last three weeks but I haven't seen any signs of squatting. Any thoughts as to whether she is close to laying?

    Please help with gender?

    This is our first time raising chicks. A friend of a friend gave my children a random selection of eggs so they could have a go at hatching and raising the chicks. We ended up with three, and they are around 8 1/2 weeks old now. I am not sure of the breeds. I've been lurking around a lot to...
