    Year old hens not laying

    I don't have just LF. Half are mixed bantams and silkies. The guineas sleep on top of the coop and my ducks all have their own 6x6 coop in the same area.

    Year old hens not laying

    I only have 2 roosters, a silkie and a BCM roo, to about 15 hens. The others are laying as they should. That one didn't go in the coop one night last winter and developed frost bite. I brought her inside the next morning when i noticed the swelling, but I still couldn't save some of her toes :(

    Year old hens not laying

    No scratch or corn, I only give that in the winter. Once in awhile they'll get dinner leftovers but no, not a lot of treats. Also have a 50'x 100' pen with plenty of grass.

    Well she gave him to me for free because she had too many roosters, so I can't complain too much.. lol. she doesn't know what lines he comes from, but she showed me an egg his sister had laid and Id say it was a 6/7 so she may have been laying even darker over the summer!

    Question, (I'm fairly new to BCMs) I'm looking at trading for this rooster, he hatched in May/June of this year.. he doesn't have as much coloring as I would like, but will his colors come out more as he matures? Or should I start looking elsewhere?

    I've only tried to hatch Muscovies in my home made cooler incubator once, and my hatch rate was low, 2/12, amd it took a lot of work and care to keep even those 2 alive.. then I let my duck hatch a clutch and got 12/13. Muscovies definitely arent chickens, or other breeds of ducks at that. If...
