My young pullet went missing several weeks ago and showed up with several more additions

First hatch at 23 weeks with 14 hatch and the seconded hatch at 32 weeks old with 7 chicks

Are anybody elses chickens molting yet? I noticed today one of my EE hens is and I thought it was a little early for them to start

Mine have been molting for a month now and have been getting very few eggs - 4 to 6 per day from 20+ hens.

That is wonderful! Pretty family, too. Also, roosterlew, thank you for the genetics lesson and everyone lucky enough to have roosters for breeding to share. What a fun thread!

If any of my favorite hens would go missing, I would think a predator got her or something. The only hens that I have that ever went broody are my two bantam cochins.

so sweet I am hoping to get my heard where I want it to be and maybe have a few little ones.

No. They are both pullets and cockerels. You'll start seeing slight changes in the coloration in the cockerels a little later after hatch usually around three to four weeks.

Thanks for your answer! The pictures I keep seeing & the 2 that we had were girls, didn't know if it was coincidence or not.
