Hi! We have three hens for personal laying purposes/pets.
Two barred rocks and one Rhode Island Red. The rocks are 1 year old, we got them at 8 months and they have been great egg-layers even during winter. The RIR however hasn't layed in over 2 weeks, and before that she would go a few days between laying. Is that normal for the breed? At what age do hens typically stop laying? (we don't know exactly how old she is).
Another ?: We are thinking about getting an Ameracauna from the feed store that is 6 weeks old, when would it be able to go out into the coop with the others? We are in WA, still having nights that get down to 40 degrees, and 60 during the day at most.
Thanks for reading!
