bronze Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I don't have one. I had a male a while back but I do know their eggs are mid to dark brown speckled and large. I was told dark brown but was surprised how light they were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Introducing a single 10 week old chicken to a large flock of adult chickens will present you with a few logistical problems debbie. Have you got separate accommodation for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debbie26pet Posted July 29, 2008 Author Share Posted July 29, 2008 no and i go away next week so ive turned her down, its not fair on her to add her to a nearly adult flock so thought it best not to try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Very sensible. I was going to have a sleepless night about that debbie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
