but how can you tell how old a hen really is?
The fellow I bought my girls from told me they were all under 2 years old but then I read something here about telling the age of a bird by how scaly their legs are. Being a newbie I wouldn't know how smooth or scaly a chicken's legs should be or if that's even true.
So, since I can't ask the girls, how DO you tell?
