I have 6 pullets from TSC, that should now be 12 weeks old - we picked them up on 3/20:
I actually believe we got what we wantedt; 1 BCM cockerel (crows), 1 Ancona cockerel (crows), 3 barred rock pullets, 2 black sex link pullets, and 1 Buckeye pullet. None have crowed, and the boys started that at least 3 weeks ago. Today I found an egg:
My theory is that one of our 14 older hens (5-7yrs), laid what I call a menopause egg. ??
My other half thinks one of the pullets did it - one of the barred.
If I had to pick one, I'd choose one of the blacks, or none at all. Thanks!
