Just wondering, I have always had 2 silkie roosters, but one of them just past away 2 days ago.
now I have just one rooster with 12 hens, is that okey, can he ferile all the eggs alone or should I get another rooster ? 🤔😊.
I own brahma chickens, and there was a girl asking me if there similar in size to broiler chickens......I have never seen or owned broiler chickens, so I have no idea how big they are. anyone that knows the size diffrents between brahmas and broilers?
so these 2 sisters are easter egger silkie cross. there was one person asking if I could sell them chicks from them and the father would be silkie rooster.
I'm curios, would the silkie feathers then come back on some chicks? or would they all still be smooth?
anyway I am going to hatch some out...
I own a brahma rooster and a easter egger rooster and a rooster that was supposed to be cream legbar, but is probably olive egger.

how does sizzle breeding work again?
I own 2 buff coloured pekin bantam frizzle hens, and I also own silkies, I want to breed my hens to my silkie rooster to get frizzle. I know most of the chicks will be smooth and some will be frizzle.
but I been thinking if I then breed there offspring...
are new hempshire chickens friendly and calm? and how big are there eggs? are the eggs similar to the Rhode Island red eggs in size and color maybe?

so I own few breeds for colorful egg basket. Easter Eggers for the green/blue eggs (most of them lay blue eggs). Icelandic's for white eggs, brahmas and they lay light brown or some tinded. and I'm also testing the cream legbar to see how I like them, so far I think there great :)
but I only own...
so I'm thinking about maybe getting a cuckoo Maran rooster. I own one cuckoo Maran hen that lays brown eggs. I know that it is one breeder here in Iceland that breeds cuckoo Maran chickens and his flock lay both brown egg and white eggs.

just a fun question, if you would decide to add a new breed to your flock what breed would it be? what breed do you wish you owned? :)
another question what breed do you own, and what is your favorite chicken breed?
for me I would wish to own black copper Maran for the dark eggs and polish...
