    What's your favorite/friendliest breed

    @K0k0shka they will mate with who they want when they want, even if the other party is not interested. Some of the behavior is to assert dominance as the flock leader.

    What's your favorite/friendliest breed

    I definitely agree that genetics, breeder, what the birds are being bred for is also a big factor and sample size. For example I've only had two Wyandottes , so my sample size is small. Both birds were super flighty. Probably not an accurate assessment of the breed. Most of the hatchery birds...

    What's your favorite/friendliest breed

    The "Ask Anything" to Nicalandia Thread

    Thank you Embarrassingly I can’t tell the RIR eggs from the BA. I have 4 RIR and 2 BA and a couple others that share two nest boxes. The egg color and shape are very similar. Hopefully I will see some differences in the chicks when they hatch.

    The "Ask Anything" to Nicalandia Thread

    Thank you So he is Isabel something 😂. He is definitely different than my CCO rooster in barring and build. I say Crele because his parents were supposed to be Crele. My RIR are very very dark I was hoping to identify the mothers at hatch. I also have him over Australops , which should be all...
