If you speaking about Dixie rainbow chickens, they are sometimes crossed with a barred roo over a Cornish crosse hen these are my rainbows the last 2 pics are of my young hens about 8 weeks old
He is in the group that free ranges so that may be some of his feather problems, to me he looks great but I don't show birds so I was looking for someone that does to make sure he is of decent quality
So why don't hatcheries and breeders you a splash roo over black laced red wyandottes to have 100% blue laced red wyandottes in stead of mix black blue and splash?
We have gotten one pair of Cochins, and have 15 chicks coming in a week, what size of nesting box do they require, and do I need to have 1 per hen as if they go broody the same time?
