    The title says it all. I want to cross the biggest barred rock rooster I can find to black ameraucana hens.

    Egg laying genetics

    I had read somewhere that the egg size and lay rate qualities of a cross tend to come from the genetics of the rooster's line. Has this been scientifically quantified, or is it just anecdotal? Have you guys found it to be true at all?

    Planting an optimal chicken pasture

    My parents have been raising chickens for a couple years now, and I have been feeling the itch to get out of the neighborhood and get out where I can play around myself. I bought an acre and a half, and will be clearing all of the overgrown weeds and brush this fall and next spring. I have a two...
