    A monster egg

    I have two hens that have recently started laying, they’re both a RIR and NHR mix it seems. One of them started laying giant monster eggs larger than jumbo size, her 6th egg is pictured next to her previous production for comparison. I give them a spoon full of sour cream every other day and...

After I was informed that they might actually be NHR I did a quick search and indeed they look exactly like the pictures I saw, some beautiful specimens that’s for sure I was actually worried about them being Roos...

    RiR feather sexing at 19 weeks.

    The research I have done indicates that at 3 months old almost all breeds with three exceptions will be easily sexed by looking at their saddle feathers on the back of the bird close to the tail, if they’re long and skinny, pointy it’s a roo, if those feathers are round and stubby it’s a pullet...
