Oh man, that makes so much sense! A literally just found the buff orphington in the nest box tonight! Thank you for your answer. I just thought they were still so young haha. Wishful father thinking maybe. Looks like I’ll have to cage her tomorrow and break it early! Although my heart explodes when I …
My hens have stopped eating their feed and I don’t know why. They had stopped eating their pellets and I had not changed their brand , so I moved to mixed corn which they ate well but since they have gone into moult they have stopped eating anything from their feeders, they wander round the …
Yes. They will. I have three Black: Lavender Split Orpingtons which are all pullets that are now 20-21 weeks old. DOB is May 18 or 19th I believe and I can show you some pics I took of them on arrival while we removed legbands and then of them a few weeks later as they …
I have two pavlovskaya hatched from chicks about 15 weeks ago. First seemed to be pullets but now growing what I think are saddle feathers.
