So this is Fafnir, and she was sold to me as a Dominique. However, I'm looking at her comb and she appears to have a single comb, not a rose comb. It's not terribly important since she's a lovely chicken either way, but we've started finding little med-dark brown speckled eggs (our first eggs...
I have just bought food dye to put on 2 of my hen's vents to see which eggs were leyed by them. My question is when do I put it on them? In the evening when they go roost, so they could lay in the morning? But wouldn't the dye dry or disappear overnight? Maybe in the morning before they lay, but...
