Hi, I’m new to backyard chickens and this is my first post. I’ve owned all sorts of chickens since I was a kid and today we have 7 hens of different breeds.
But I’ve never had a Sumatra before and I was wondering if anyone could pls advise me on a blue Sumatra hen I just bought today.
I was told she was hatched in May 2020 and is now POL (point of laying).
She is beautiful but she’s so big and bulky When I held her I couldnt believe how big she felt for such a young bird. I’m starting to worry now that she’s actually a much older hen.
One expert told me to measure her vent but she struggled a lot so haven’t managed to do that yet.
I’ll attempt to attach photos of her.
I drove 1.5 hours today to buy her and I just need to make sure.
Best,
Raph
