Ok, so these won’t be all of my chickens, because I have 8 RIR’s, that are most likely not in the picture. My flock consists of 20 hens and 1 rooster. (Should I get another rooster?)

Ok, here are some pictures! (Let me know if you want more)

I know there are only 2 pics, but the 1st one does capture the whole flock I believe. (in the 1st picture, you can see fluffy running on "one leg")

I do have a question. I know I shouldn't be worried, but just in case. My White Jersey Giants are 8.5 months old, and they are about the same of my RIR's, but a bit bigger. Are they growing at a normal rate?

I count 18 hens and one roo in the first photo.

Ok! I just realized a problem. Hawk, one of my very favorite hens, was egg bound, and recovered, but that was 2-3 months ago. Now, when I went to feed the chickens and rabbits, I noticed that Hawk was missing feathers. A few on her neck (you could see the white ends), and I think a bit of her tail feathers, because her tail looked smaller than usual. Now, I am confused. She usually pecks at others at feed time, and she never got into a fight. She can’t be molting, because she is too young, and I think it’s a bit too late to do that. Could it be from the rooster? (Sorry for cluttering up the thread, but I though you might give me some advice).

I counted 22 (including rooster). I think there are a few that are “hidden Behind some hens

Probably. WAIT- how can you have 21 chickens but see 22 in that photo??

I might have Missed one? It was either 21 or 22

Ok, I looked carefully and found them all. 21.

I counted correctly the 1st time!

I had to lure them with food in order to take that pic. Otherwise, it’s basically impossible to take a picture with all of them together.
