White Leghorns

[Ajones]

I got another one today, that's about 4in7 days, not to bad I guess. I have 2 rhode island reds that are the same age and haven't started laying yet..

I have one that was laying like clockwork but she's I'll at the moment and has stopped laying altogether. She's been to the vet today.

Denagard is the stuff we have ordered, hope it work as I miss the white eggs.

We are raising chickens for the first time. We have four Red Sussex Cross and two White Leghorns, all of which were 15 weeks old yesterday. I found our first egg today - it's white, so it had to be one of the leghorns. It's actually our first egg ever so it was tremendously egg-citing!

We have two White Leghorns, Popcorn and Buttercup. Popcorn has grown a very large comb and wattles compared to Buttercup, so we were assuming "she" was actually a "he". However, I found a white egg today and now I'm thinking that Popcorn is in fact a hen, and has just matured faster than Buttercup?! They are both 15 weeks old. At what age can you definitively tell a hen from a rooster?

i got my from a battery coop; they were pullets, moulted (october) and by january were laying (with no supplemental lighting) sporagically; now they are laying full time. two breaks: one when i introduced four more unidentified pullet/cockerels, and once when we had a food glitch (only table scraps so they ate but it wasnt enough for a lay)...
