    Lemon cuckoo Roo x Lavender Hen

    Thank you Frazzemrat! I'm so confused by the coloration genetics. I've tried researching, I kind of understand recessive genes and having to have two copies...but how it applies when crossing with something else? I was getting lost! So, yes, thank you!

    Broody hens and fertile eggs

    Any idea how to move them to a different location and not disrupt the broodiness? They are nesting in apparently "the two best nesting boxes" and are causing my other girls grief!

    Broody hens and fertile eggs

    Does anyone know how long I have to stick fertile eggs under two hens that just went broody? They've been broody for two days now and I have no roosters but I'd like to stick some fertile eggs under them. They are keeping golf balls warm right now.

    Mislead by organic label?

    Well to my understanding, technically, to be organic your property cannot even have treated lumber in the ground. So it isn't just fertilizers and such, there is way more than just feed and wandering the pasture to be able to use the term organic.
