NPIP Certification
My question is this. I have a small flock of free range barnyard mix laying hens. I also breed 5 different pure blood breeds. Do I have to have my free rangers tested also or can I get certified by just testing my breeding stock? I live in KY. Thanks- mrshawman

I would like to get some advise about my Roosters. I have been using these two roos for my first hatch. I have 3 hatched so far and 2 have auto sexing characteristics. One is almost pure blond. I am not sure where the blame lies. Pic 1 and 2 are of my Single Bar. Pictures 3 and 4 are of my...- mrshawman

Crossing Black Lavender Split Orpingtons.

Very well said. It is the breed I am interested in, not just buying eggs, hatching them, and then selling what they lay. I purchased several lots of eggs last year and only a few have been what I consider to be true RB. It will take some time to get where I want to be with my program! And until...- mrshawman

I am a little confused about the black in the male chest. I thought I read several posts about this and they said no black in chest. I found the British standards and in the last line it says "white and black". Most of my young males have black in the chest. What is the American standard? or is...- mrshawman

These are the chick pics i posted 3 months ago. You said then that the first pic was double bar. You was right. I will post the double bars tomorrow. I have 2 HRIR that are almost the same age. Is it better to use the single bar or the double bar to breed to the HRIR?- mrshawman
