Hey all! So I was curious if my hens are normal: our roo was killed about two months ago, and ever since I have noticed that my remaining Buff Orpington hens (just shy of one year old) have grown bigger wattles and comb.

- proven laying hen

They were ordered through my feed store. Previous hens were either from Murray McMurray, or the feed store's previous supplier (they switched to a new hatchery last year). Are they supposed to be this large, and I've just had crappy stock in the past? Or are they having a reaction to no more roo?
