    He/she is definitely a bit of a loner from the other 5 but recently had some sort of leg deformity or growing pains (according to the vet) that caused trouble walking so that might be part of it. His/her comb is definitely more pink than the others but it was a hatchery mix up so I’m still...

    Hey there! So I have a couple Olive Eggers and a couple Barred Rocks and for some reason one of my Olive Eggers will not lay an egg one day and then lay two eggs the next day. She’s been pretty consistent the past week with skipping and then laying double. They will soon be one and this is...
