How do I tag MysteryChicken? They answered a similar question back in December 2022 but the hens weren't laying. I have a little backyard breeding project with a dinosaur theme and I've been tossing around the idea of introducing either a longcrower or laughing rooster, not necessarily for the...

I've been a lurkey turkey for years. Almost every time I've done any internet searching about chimkens, I'll end up reading through something on this forum. Been wanting to keep poultry for a decade and finally hatched my first clutch a couple months ago. My partners and I have been building...
