    Thoughts on breeds?

    This is a very helpful reply. I would love to get a handle on chicken genes and inheritance. Can you recommend any sites or books? Since I'm dealing with mixes, it's only going to get messier from here if I hatch any of my own chicks down the line and I would like to be able to make sense of...
