Yes. More than I really want. Around 45 now. And I bought 8 little ones yesterday from TSC. They had pasty butt and I just couldn't leave them there. I have a hard time giving them up once I get to know them. I vet new homes which seems to annoy many people so they just have to stay. Lol.

You are a good person

So we noticed a significant weight differ ce in our hens. One does look older. So I read on here to do the finger test between pelvic bones and we did it. One we can fit almost 3 fingers and the other can only fit one finger So we are wondering if the older one will even lay eggs. Why wouldn’t owner be honest from the beginning? Learning day by day. So they are both not 8 months.

So they are both not 8 months.

They may be - one just may have matured more rapidly.
