If these waterers aren't fairly level they leak -- that's pretty obvious. We don't have a lot of flat level spots in our chicken areas, so decided to hang our waterers and let gravity level them...

First question.. What would you get if you mixed a RIR with a RIW? My guess is that the offspring would be mainly red but I could be wrong.

Second question.. What breed of chicken is your favorite? Id do a poll but I dont want to leave anyones favorite out.

Third... If your breed has multiple colors, what color is your favorite?

For example my favorite is the Silkie and I prefer Splash and Partridge. Just curious and looking into future breeds/colors.

Qustion 1: No idea

Question 2: I can't choose just one. For layers I love Black Australorps and Cuckoo Marans and for "pets" I love Cochin Bantams (Black, White and all combinations of those colors) and Millie Fluer Bearded Belgian D'Uccles.

Another Question... What would a primarily white chicken with a golden/reddish head be? Im pretty sure its a bantam but havent gotten very close so I dont have much of a size comparison. Its running with the 5 black ones in my backyard (left behind by old neighbors).
