    Chicken Breeding Projects, For 2020!

    Since amberlinks don't breed true, anything you hatch will be a mutt so to speak. I have 4 juveniles I hatched from amberlink eggs with an amberlink rooster and each one looks completely different. They aren't the same color or even sizes. There's a small white one with black spots, a large rust...

    I heard back from Greenfire after a second email. They no longer carry them either

    Chicken Breeding Projects, For 2020!

    I'm looking forward to my FIRST year breeding ❤️ I have salmon Faverolles that I got for my son for 4H and we will be working on getting them to SOP. They aren't bad now but color is a little dark in some and combs have too many points. I also enjoy mixing my egg production flock and seeing what...

    I can't see your pics for some reason but where did you get the eggs? I'm still in search and it's starting to look like I'd have to drive to Canada and pay customs fees for some

    Review by 'BarefootHomestead33' in article 'Common Rooster Myths - Clearing Up Rooster Misinformation'

    It's about time someone cleared up some of these myths I have 9 roosters currently and they ALL free range with my 42 hens all of various ages from 9wks to 5 years. One rooster I keep just so he will help teach the young boys how to treat the flock and babies as they grow up. He's a mutt and not...

    This is what the other "like" would look like. This would mean that both fourth generations would share great-grandparents.

    Line breeding, or something close, salmon Faverolles

    I have a flock of 18 hens and 5 roosters. Two of my roosters are close to SOP but miss it by points on their combs (both have seven points and one is uneven.) the hens I have picked meet SOP. If I line breed them, as pictured, and flip roosters to create to Gen 4 batches, would this be a good...
