    ALL natural feed for chickens and quails?

    So... I am not pleased with the manufactured chicken feed you get in the stores... Their main protein source are based on plants, and basically contains alot of corn, soya and low quality grains.

And I guess, based on what I have read so far, as long as you have a really strong Mh and Db the dominant white should not affect the ground colour too much then...

    Changing Roosters - How early can the new Rooster be the father?

    Genotype of Norwegian Jaerhone

    I found 1 thread about this before, but not enough replies or info. Does anyone here know the genetic code of the breed or could have a guess? It seems they must have different or mixed E-alleles, based on the chick down. They are not wild type, but E, eWh or eb and/or mixes of these. What...
