Long story short friend of a friend got overwhelmed and asked me to take them in. I have no back story on them other than about 3 months old . Im thinking the white one is an easter egger , but the others im lost on honestly
12 days now no eggs. These 5 were completely segregated. No way in egg eating / hiding as there in a 10x10 run / coop with camera on at all times. White birds are still tee niny and combs floppin around.
