this is my barred rock, I got her October 5th at a couple of days old. This week she will be 20 weeks old...

I've posted about 1,000 times on this subject (exaggeration) but little questions keep popping up in my head. So I noticed 2/3 of my chickens WATTLES were pretty red, should I be expecting a red comb and potentially an egg here pretty soon?

@Happy Chooks I heard that egg shells can work for calcium also. Would that work or just buy oyster shells

I have 16 week old chickens. I've looked up when to add extra calcium but couldn't find anything. Do you know anything about when to add it?

Thank you!! I just went outside to watch them and one of the barred rocks was laying in the grass and wouldn't move until her sisters moved.

I have 3 chickens. I got them at the beginning of October and they will be 16 weeks Monday. I am new to this and waiting on that first egg. I have read that chickens start from 16-24 weeks. What's the probability of getting a egg this upcoming week? I have 2 barred rocks and 1 Rhode Island Red...
