    Selling 12 Week Pullets - Texas!!

    Hello!! This is my first post here, so I’m a bit nervous! But let’s cut to the chase I’m an FFA member with one-too-many hens. After raising broilers, I decided to test out layer hens.

    Looking to add a couple new gals to our flock!

    I live in Frisco, Tx, and I’m looking for any info on buying just 2 new pullets. We already have 4 healthy, beautiful, 2 year old hens of various breeds, but most sellers have a 3-4 minimum. We can have up to 8, but that’s just too many for us right now. Any advice?! Thanks! BAKAW!

    Is this normal? Heard it’s called smut?

    Wasn’t exactly sure where to put this but I’ve seen this on another one of my buff orpington pullets but on that one’s tail feathers. The one pictured is on the wing. I think it’s what people refer to as smut but wanted another opinion(s)
