Hello all.
Please help me.
I got 5 hens from a local farm at the beginning of June. 1 each of Americana, Auracana, Black sex link, Cukoo Maran, & Buff Orpington. Our understanding is that they were about 3 months from being hatched.
Now we are having a few issues. #1-NO EGGS !!!!!! They seem to be doing all of the nesting and squaking, but no eggs. How long does it take? What signs can I look for?
#2, our smallest girl, June, the Cukoo Maran, is now our largest, and is exhibiting some dominent characteristics and is starting to get a red crown and gobble. Is she a rooster?
Our sex link is doing the same, is she?
Does anyone have pix of hens and roosters of these two breeds so i can tell?
We are really frustrated!
#3, I think one of my dogs is allergic to the chicks, her skin is aweful since we got them. Any suggestions?
Thanks so much for the help .
