Wow that was a huge help! I don't know how old she is because a friend of mine bought her at a chicken sale. I know now that is NOT the place to get chickens. I was just getting excited wanting eggs while I wait on my chicks to get big enougt to lay. I bought 3 RIRs and 3 Golden Comets at TSC March 28th. They are doing great,I work at TSC and picked them up at the post office that morning so I know how old they are. I have found that watching my chickens go about their daily routine helps my stress. Thank you so much for your help. BYC is the best thing since sliced bread.
