we adopted some chickens last weekend so they have been at our house all of 7 day. There are 4 chickens that are a year and under that came from a local farm. Fairly friendly birds so that is nice.
Three are mature birds, one is about 15-18 weeks and has no red on face yet ( my black sex link) so not mature enough to lay. My delaware mix ... we re not sure on sex yet. it does not get along well with the other birds. Then there is a Dominique and golden comet sex link. One of those gals has laid us an egg every day after the first day.
I figure at least one other bird should be laying right now, if not 2. How long would they be stressed over the move? Apparently one bird is fine with it.
I will post some pics and you can see my flock and give me some ideas. If the delaware turns out to be a roo, it is going back to the farm for another girl so hopefully it shows it colors soon!
thanks for your thoughts
