wow, I didn't realize they didn't look back or acknowledge the relationship anymore. Yes, I can't make a potpie out of Granny. She's the only laying hen we have now! thanks for your advice
I have ten pullets and cockerals. (4 hens and 6 cockerals) and their mother Granny. They were all hatched at the same time, but the smallest one, which is a hen, we call "runt." She was getting picked on and we didn't know by who. We noticed the top of her head had been pecked the other day so...
