Hi, I have had sumatras for almost a year now. I know what to expect from the smaller breed.
I purchased some large breed "pullets" this spring.
1 buff orpington, 1 light brahma, 1 buff brahma and two black australorps. They're now 19 weeks old.
When can I expect eggs from these girls? I was told that large breeds take longer to get started. Will they lay this year?
Also, my light brahma has turned into a gigormous rooster. His feet are as big as my hands. He is beautiful! But he hasn't even attempted to crow. He's already larger than my adult black sumatra roo. How large do these roosters get? I handle him daily and he's fabulous.
Addicted,
Cindy
