So I was at the feed store the other day and they had a fair bit of hens. They know they are laying a lot but they don't know which hens are laying.
Is there a way to tell if a hen will be a good layer? (like if shes old etc she won't be a good layer right?)
I also saw 4 silkies they had but they think they are all roos. How do you sex a silkie? 3 had rose (?) combs and one had a single comb if that makes a difference. I want a silkie because I heard they are great setters and none of my hens are setters. (Plus they are ADORABLE)
