I understand basic "sexlinking" at a high level (male 2...

    Super Layers

    Anyone ever averaged more eggs than hens over 2 or more days? A few weeks ago I got an order for 75 leghorns so I merged 8 hens from 3 other coops into a breeding pen with a new rooster and within a few days I noticed my total leghorn egg count increased.

    Improving Barnevelder Egg Color

    I am wondering if it is practical to use Black Copper Marans to darken the egg of my Barnevelders. If so, how would I approach and how many generations and what kind of hatch sizes would it take? I have a flock of both, with several roosters each.

    My White Leghorn - What to improve?

    My girls are starting to get interested in showing some of our birds, and I'm not sure if what I have is good to start them with, or if I should be looking for a breeder for new stock. This is my White Leghorn rooster. I've just ordered the APA Standard, but would like to hear opinions from...

    Is this bantam rooster a Black Copper Marans?

    I rescued a flock of birds from a farm and was told by the grandfather that the birds were originally from his son's and grandkids 4H project, but otherwise he did not know what kind of bird. The rooster is medium bantam sized, and his chicks look like penguins. To me he looks like a black...
