Hi all,
Looking for help.
We acquired two hens, an Isa brown and an Australorp.
The brown is laying, but the black isn't. Which is fine.
But we were hoping to get a third or fourth but the breeder we got them from advised that they had heard of problems with flocks with uneven numbers of different colours where the majority picks on the minority (a strange idea, i know).
I'm thinking isa brown is the best bet, but she's already muscling out the black a little.
Has anyone else heard anything like this? Or can we just pick what we want as some chickens are just jerks, regardless of colour?
