    Early this morning, I went to check on my four pullets. I found a special surprise from one of them who is now a hen, and it was a cute little egg! I assumed it was from one of our ISA's but I didn't have a 100% accurate way to figure out. Just thirty minutes ago I went to sit with my girls, and...

    How much are adult Isa Browns worth?

    Horrible way to spend a birthday. Neighbor's dog got out and killed my Isa Browns. Well, it's coming down to either the dog dies or the man owes me a lot of money. Google isn't giving me good answers, these Isa Browns were at their prime laying age. Exactly how much is one Isa Brown hen? I...
