I crossed a Barred Rock Rooster with Blue Plymouth Rock Hens. I've been reading about white spots and that they may indicate cockerel. Here's a picture of 2 of the Babies who hatched yesterday.
Have your Chickens grown? I am getting a Barred Rock Rooster and I plan on Breeding him with my Production Reds. How'd yours turn out? What's the Egg Production and Egg Size like? Thank you.
Thank you. This is what I needed to read: The amount of time needed to ‘break’ the hen will depend upon how determined she is. Check her daily by removing her from the cage. If she returns to a nesting box- back to jail she goes!
We have a Black Australorp who is Broody. I tried removing her, walking her around, and a day in Chicken Jail. She went right back to just laying in the box. Sometimes on nothing. She's back in Chicken Jail. How long should I leave her?
