I have a newbie question about hatching eggs. Does the color of the eggs guarentee the color that chick will grow up to lay herself. For example, if I pick only the darkest brown eggs out of a selection of two dozen marans eggs, would those chickens lay very good dark brown eggs? Another...

Hi! I'm obviously new around here and very happy to have found this place! I'm 30 years old and I live in Georgia. I've been interested in backyard homesteading for several years now. So much so that when I finally decided to stop renting and take the big leap into owning a home, the backyard...
