    Run is up against my house

    I put up the outdoor sunshade material over my chicken coop last year. My backyard has very little shade, so was trying to make a cooler place for my chickens.

    Does this information apply to egg color? Must I get DNA testing on my Silverudd Blue (1 black pair, 1 blue pair) birds to determine heterozygous or homozygous? I am a real newbie with genetics, but this will be a good way to gain some knowledge. Thank you.

    Feeding chickens raccoons

    I live in very small rural town. Everyone feeds their dogs and cats outside, plenty of food after dark for possums and coons, yet they still attempt to break into my coops.

    I hatched 5 Silverudd blues from shipped eggs last summer. The last hen finally started laying—one other hen lays tan eggs with freckles, but she’s laying green with freckles, like her big sister! Makes me smile every time I see the pic of her first egg, lol!
