    Mixing Chicken Breeds?

    If my flock is anything to go by, the only thing a silkie rooster "can't" cross with is a rabbit. I haven't seen any "chick-bbits" around here yet but buff orpington, rhode island red, barred rock, easter egger, and of course silkies are all part of his haram. Everything that has hatched has...

    I'm just guessing here but if your neighbor grew up on a farm, it is possible it was one of those that actually supported the family, not just a "hobby farm" and since they had jobs to do all day, they probably did just gather the eggs in the AM because that was when they needed them and they...
