Here is mama hen keeping watch over her GROWN 4 month old babies, who are fully capable of taking care of themselves. She has fully regained her pre-brooding weight for atleast 2 months, and molted after brooding, still no eggs. Am at a loss. They hatched in december and it's now beginning...

I return with my 3rd post of these 3 chickens, who are now almost 4 months old (3 months 3 weeks). Hopefully they will finally be old enough to definitively sex! I've been confident for a while that I have 1 pullet (n.o 1), and 1 rooster (n.o 3), but n.o 2 is throwing me off. Has a smaller comb...
