Wanting to breed them. I have 2 hens and 2 cocks. Was wondering how old they are? 2 have blue rings around their leg, one has red and the last one I think has black? Please let me know what you think. Link to comment

Important not to breed with hens too old. Often older hens sold on have had issues and hence the reason they were sold.......depending on who you bought them from and level of trust. Link to comment

The breeder told me the red ring hen has had 1 nest of babies all healthy. The black cock has never had any either. They haven't touched their food since they got home, is this normal?
