    Buying chickens from local vender

    I love my local Tractor Supply store, good, friendly people. However, I ordered what was suppose to be Isa Brown from them last year, and pretty sure they are RIR.

    When a rooster breeds

    when a rooster breeds with a hen, how long are her eggs considered fertilized??? Just the next egg she lays? Fertile all week? Just wondering in case I decide to raise a few chicks. And does a hen go broody randomly or does this increase when she lays fertilized eggs??

    ISA Brown or imitator?

    I recently got isa brown pullets from local supply store, but have one developing a much bigger cone and red waddle. At this point I am guessing another breed, RIR?, but wanted to know if RIR chicks could easily be mistaken for ISA? I am not thinking cockerel at this point yet. Can send picture...
