Aww,poor thing! Glad to hear she is with you! I'm sure she'll have a great life! And yes,i'm Northern Hemisphere, east coast US. Our days will now be getting longer! I can't wait til spring.Good luck with your new girl!
They were just treated for prevention! Not parasite infestation. I treated them with Ivermectin. You're just not supposed to eat the eggs for about 3 wks,which don't matter in my case if they're not laying anyways.
I've only owned my 2 Buff Orps for a week and a half. I was told when I got them,that all the hens were layers. There were hens that ranged from 7 months to 1 1/2 yrs old, and judging by their combs,seem to be 1 1/2. Now,i'm not in a hurry for eggs right now, they have been treated and can't eat...
