How long do warren hens live?

Warren hens can possibly live for up to 14 years although most will not survive for quite this long. Like all chickens they will lay most productively in the first year, with a small drop-off in egg numbers for the second year and after year four they are unlikely to produce any real quantity of eggs at all, which is why commercial hens are culled at such a young age.


How do you tell buff orpington hen from rooster pullet?

Pullets are actually hens, that is female. Roosters or cockerals who are Buff Orpingtons cannot always be told apart from the pullets (ladies). Some say the rooster has more golden saddle feathers, thicker legs and a more developed comb. But hens can have nice combs, too. Here's the kicker: BO hens can also crow! The only way to be sure is to wait a year or more and see who doesn't lay eggs. That's be the rooster, usually docile.too.


Where do hens live?
