The first picture is a hen I bought that was claimed to be an Easter Egger…she lays light brown eggs. The second picture was supposed to be a Cochin mix hen. Well “she” tries to crow a couple of times when I just brought home my new Polish rooster. “She” even tried to spar for a second. I’ve had...
