Hi, We have had our first ex-bats for 3 weeks now and have still only had 6 eggs between them. I guess getting ex-bats is a consiance thing and you have to have them as pets and not layers, which is why they are not wanted by the farms in the first place. As for the baldness. One of our hens has never had any feathers on her belly and it has always looked a bit red so I would monitor for a while.
