Sorry it took me so long to reply. Yard work is never done. I don't know how old she is but the feed store we use has always given us fairly young hens. As I said, my daughters bought them and they really didn't know what questions to ask. This hen lays almost every day, but the broody hen I...

I don't think she's very old and she's very docile. The 2 older hens, a Red Sex Link and an Australorp both let her know her place in the pecking order. I'm about convinced it's just an anomaly with her. Maybe a 5th toe. I'm not going to be concerned about it. Was just curious. Thanks for all...
