    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!

    I have two Australorps. They seem to be skittish despite being handled when young (all my other girls eat from my hand). They also don't seem to venture far while the rest of my flock is out in the pasture, they stick together up close to the chicken coop. They are good layers and have a nice...

    Who uses Nutrena Nature wise Layer feed?

    Broody hens and fertile eggs
