    Mycoplasma possibility

    I ended up just giving the flock away to a lady at work who wanted to eat them, it just wasn’t worth the risk when I plan on breeding chickens later this year.

    Breeding a super broody hen

    Say I wanted to get a large very broody chicken that matures quickly (within 7 months) what crosses could I make to achieve this? I do have some silkies but they are so small, I don't care about looks but I'd prefer clean legs. I've heard you can breed silkies to be bigger but idk.

    Can a clean faced Easter egged have chicks with muffs?
