I have a small flock of seven chickens. My one maran went broody about a month ago. I finally separated her about two and a half week ago for about 3 days. She has been back in the flock for about 2 weeks now, but still no eggs. She doesn't seem to be broody at all any more. What is going on?
So, I have (I think) 7 hens: 1 maran, 2 wellsummers, 2 brown leghorns, 2 silver laced wyandottes. They all have feathers missing just above their tailfeathers, which is where roosters like to pull em out, right? But...I don't think I have any roosters. I haven't caught any birds pecking out any...
I am not sure on the breeds of my chickens. I got them from a gal who ordered several hundred by mail and was getting rid of them. She said there were red leghorns, barred rock and speckled sussex. I don't think she was right. Also, can you tell if any of them are roosters? I keep hearing a few...
So..I am new here and saw what a great resource this place is and wanted in.
I have 10 chickens (for now) and it has been tons of fun letting my 3 year old get them used to people. Poor chickens.
Anyways,
I look forward to learning more and watching my chickens grow.
