    Needing help deciding

    You can get bantam EEs or bantam barred rocks, either should give decent amount of eggs and be capable of handling the weather extremes you have. Of course, bantam usually lay much smaller eggs.

    Mareks. Can we ever get chickens again?

    Is this chick wheaten? How did this happen?

    I just realized that if my birchen roo is carrying wheaten, and the cross with duck wing produced blacks and duckwing wheaten splits, the blacks would be birchen and duckwing, so instead of using the offspring that appeared duckwing, I can breed the black (the birchen x duckwing) back to my...

    Is this chick wheaten? How did this happen?

    My pullet went through quite a metamorphosis over time, and I had thought that she was a 'he' because there was so much red across the shoulders (compared to a male in pic here), looking into that I discovered the wheaten gene. I learn more every day 😁
