My Charlotte passed yesterday morning. 2 1/2 years old, black sex link. She was laying soft eggs here and there and had one she couldn't pass. She was my sweet precious girl. I'm sorry for your loss.

Heavier breeds won't necessarily keep them confined, I busted one of our Brahma hens on top of the 8' run just this week. She needed assistance to get down.
