    Age??

    Is there a way to tell about how old a hen is? I have a white Leghorn (maybe mixed?) that we found a few months ago. She does lay regularly (one a day). Is there any way to tell about what age she may be? We're pretty new to chickens so I'm trying to learn as much as possible! Thanks in...

    Any info/help is appreciated!

    We found this girl running around in the Walmart parking lot this past weekend. Any ideas on breed? Also, I initially thought this was a rooster and was surprised to find an egg, lol!
