this all makes sense now!! she was my only hen that was laying eggs for the longest time (she wandered into my yard and joined the flock) and now half of my pullets are laying eggs and my cockrels spurs are finally growing, this makes 110% sense!
The Flock is no more than 8mo old and the hen being bullied I'd say is over a year old. I have 15 hens and 1 roo and once they see here, some of them, including the roo, chase her away. I took her inside cause I thought she was sick but nothing came of it, she didn't molt, was still laying eggs...
So everything was fine until about two weeks ago when the rest of my flock decided they didn't like my White Leghorn anymore, so we quarantined her. she doesn't seem sick and isn't molting, we let her back out last night and they chased her off again. any thoughts? do they see something I don't...
Winter is coming and this will be my first winter with cooks so the question is...would moisturizing combs/wattles be beneficial since it tends to be drier and cold? If so, what are some good products or home made recipes I can cook up? Thanks!
