    Speckled Sussex Rooster X Araucana hen?

    Hi, the owner of our local feed store gave me four eggs from this combo. Has anyone here crossed these two? Because the roosters breed lays brown and the hen lays blue will I lose the blue egg color? Or will there be a chance to keep it? Hope they hatch, will keep you guys updated.

    Our first egg from our breeding trio of Narrys!

    Well we got our first egg today! Stoked. Laid in the nesting box I built! Since my tom has been mating my hens I am assuming it is fertile, so I took it out of the nest (it was dark) and replaced it with a chicken egg of the same color. I have it in a room that is a constant 60f, if I wait...

    My Turkeys mated today! How long before eggs?

    So i was outside building some nest boxes when I had 4 wild birds come down my driveway, infuriating my tom, the hen layed down for him, and he mated her in front of all the wild birds...it was crazy. How long should I expect eggs? Right away?
