This is one of my Biele hens with her week old chicks 5 are hers and 5 are cream legbars that hatched the same day in the incubator I just stuffed them under her she never knew the difference I like to watch her fussing over them

If we are interested in keeping these Bielefelders pure and promoting the SOP we must not sell of give away these culled roosters unless you know the bird is going to the dinner table. I plan on hatching every big egg I can.I won't sell anything till next year. Your culled roosters are going to...
My question was directed to Squeakchicken but I was wondering what it looks like and is it detectable without butchering and what are the preventive measures I have never heard of it.
