    Rainy weather ... No Egg?

    I'm a new chicken owner. Our first hen to lay is a New Hampshire Red. She has been laying a egg a day 7/8 days. This week is stormed for 4 days without sunshine. She hasn't laid an egg for 2 days now. Is that normal? Her behavior hasn't changed and her appetite is the same.

    Golden Comet or something else???

    I am a brand new chicken-mama. We got 5 Golden Comets (pullets) from a small local Feed Store 1.5 weeks ago. One of the chicks has very different coloring. Does anyone know if they vary in color or if it is possible she is a different breed?
