I just adopted two hens and a rooster to add to my flock, one of the hens have clear scaly feet, how do I treat them and can it affect the hens I already have?
Thanks!
I was given six Pekin bantams all 1 week old, I took a gamble when it came to the sex of the chicks, they are now 4 weeks old and its looking like I have two roosters... My question is, Is there any way I can keep them both?
Any help will be great!
Thanks!
Thank you for your reply! Funnily enough two days after posting this question one of my ladies laid her first egg, and less than a week later I have all three girls laying!! Very excited now :)
When do pekin bantams start laying eggs? I have had three hens (and one cock) since they were chicks, they are now approximately ten months old and none of them have layed... I have never owned chickens before these but did a fair bit or research! I thought they started laying around 5 months...
