I am in Massachusetts!

The smooth feathers are dominant and the woolly feathers are recessive. You will need to breed wooly to wooly to ensure 100% wooly feathers. Or you at least need to know that each of your other smooth feathers carry the wooly recessive. Then you need to end up with an egg that has both recessives.

Help! We started off with three eggs hatched together. Three Easter eggers. One was a rooster. We integrated two more (buff Orpington & RIR), and then two more (golden comet & Black Sex Link), and there was some establishing of pecking order that wasn't pretty, but it didnt last long and they...
