I've got three chickens. Firstly we have Gloria of unknown age (around 6 months I think). I have been told that "she" is a Pekin Bantam. Is "she" really a girl and a Pekin?
Rachael joined the girls last weekend and was told that she is Point of Lay (5-6 months). Can anyone tell me what breed she is and if I would be expecting eggs from her (ie is "she" a girl also).
The last "Rosey" is approximately 8 months old and I was told that "she" is a Welsummer x Plymouth Rock. Would "she" really be a girl and also a Welsummer x Plymouth Rock?
None of them have laid an egg . The temperature here is 13-27 Celsius (55-80 F) and has been for a couple of weeks. Over summer it constantly reached +40C (+104F) which I can understand they may not lay at this temperature. What can I do to get them laying (if they are girls)?
My track record has not been good..... Originally got two aruacanas as chicks, both of which turned out to be boys!!! Also had a Polish hen which was laying but she died during our heat wave of +45C (+113F)
