Hi all,
First photo post for me, slick interface!
I recently bought these 4 girls. The owner stated they were 10 month old Brown Comets, which I believe are a Red Sex Link variety made by combining a RIR rooster with a New Hampshire hen correct??
Does this sound right and is that what these are?
I had a terrible time at first as they had a respiritory infection that saw me spoon feeding antibiotics and food to 2 of them morning and night for over a week. They are doing much better now and are starting to lay x-large brown eggs again (which I now cannot eat for 15-17 days unfortunately). They appear to be quite freindly but do peck at each other a bit. The third photo shows the 2 extremes, one lighter cinnimon colored and the other a deep reddish brown. They love to scratch around the yard eating grass and bugs.
The photos are slightly washed out as they are actually a bit darker than this.
Thanks,
Shawn
