I'm having the same problem with my Easter Egger! I've had her for 2.5 years, she used to lay me beautiful green eggs (definitely her, I've seen her do it and she's my only EE in a flock of just 5). Last fall she stopped to molt, and never started laying again. About a month ago she started...
I think they’re around 18-20 weeks. They’re smaller than my other girls but nearly full grown.

I wondered that, it seems like all the RIR pics I'm seeing are much darker than mine. I have absolutely no clue what else she could be though, store labeled them all RIR. How's this for a side shot?
I got my four chicks about five weeks ago, they are almost six weeks old. This is my first time, and BC has been a wealth of information for every single question I've had! But I am really starting to worry that my Rhode Island Red might be a he instead of a she, so I came to the experts. Please...
