How long could the egg sit in cold temps before it is too late to put in the bator? Say it is 30 outside and your hens lay around 10 a.m. but you don't get home until 5, and they are not broody. Will it still be possible to incubate the egg?

Quote: A cross, or a mating of hybrids, will produce different percentages of breed characteristics, not different percentages of a breed. They will live well beyond 12 weeks; I did lose a few between 16 and 24 weeks, apparently to flip. The one cockerel and three pullets I have kept appear...

Does anyone know if they will breed true? I know alot of hybrids will produce different percentages of the breeds used to make them, rather than FR's breeding true FR's. Is it even possible to keep them past 12 weeks, or will they just keep growing and develop the same health problems the CX's have?

interesting thread. We are going to start raising rabbits in the spring. How about Backyard Rabbits???

What exactly is a Freedom Ranger?

Quote: Please cross with all three and let us know the results. I would like to try crossing one with RIR or a layer like Golden Comet etc.

I was wondering the same thing. What if it is around 10 degrees all day and I get the eggs at 5 p.m.? Will the eggs be ruined?

The other day I made egg bhurji / khagina. It's basically scrambled eggs, but prior to cooking I added Ragu with extra mushrooms, chilli powder and crushed red pepper. You can add any vegetable or spice. It was good, quick and easy. It is an Indian/Pakistan dish. Recipe calls for tomato sauce...

The custard sounds awesome. Anyone care to part with the recipe?

Hey wenlo don't forget the Steelers, tomorrow night. Thanks to everyone so far. I never thought I would be burdened with food that was too fresh. That is a good problem to have.

macaroni salad, potato salad, angel food cake uses a lot, quiche uses a lot, though I have never tried it. Google it, there are tons of recipes that use a lot of eggs. If we eat a burger, it has a fried egg on it. You would be surprised what a sign that says "Farm eggs for sale", will do in...

When I boil the eggs my girls lay, the shell sticks to the white, and it is a mess. I have boiled them with store bought eggs, and the store bought eggs peeled easily and mine stuck to the white. I have added salt and done all the tricks, but mine do not peel nearly as easy as the store bought...

The current ratio is 1 roo for 3 hens. like I said, breeding is witnessed many times a day. The other broody hasn't kicked any out yet.
