Ok so 2 weeks ago we adopted 4 birds. They are between 4-9 months of age. All are brown egg layers.
1. a red sex link/gold comet
2. a dominique hen
3. a young black sex link pullet ( no red on comb and wattles so not mature yet)
4. a delaware maybe pure maybe mix, we still are not sure of sex.
2 of these birds are laying eggs. One started laying the day after we brought it home, a nice fairly dark brown egg.
Today we got our first day of 2 eggs, but the newer egg is very light brown.
any thoughts on who was laying what?
I am guessing the dom and the sex link, but dont know about delawares.
thanks
