cool, thank you for the answers, I can imagine why it would be a negative trait. Maybe this person encouraged this trait in his breed.. idk cause he had around 300 eggs (I bought 2 dozen ) with him which he was selling.
I bought these double yolker eggs from someone who says all the eggs have two yolks, and yes all have two yolks. Now I searched a lot but it seems its only a malfunction that a hen lays two yolker eggs... so the question is how does all his hens lay two yolked eggs?
Hello katsdar :)
Good to hear from you. And 'yum yum' the turkeys, I plan to raise some for meat too but I have space problems right now :(
My chicken are doing good too, the chicks I hatched had started laying but are not good layers, the crossing didn't go so good.
@ Saladin: It makes more sense as a cross between my Aseel rooster and Golden hens resulted in a breed that lays very less eggs as the Aseel breed.
and I understand that it is not as straight forward. Experimentation required I guess.
Thankyou for the reply.
I had read somewhere that some specific traits come from the father and some from the mother.
Anyone else want to share experience?
Hello everyone!

Hello all Bycers!
I have a rooster (who hatched in my homemade incubator ), he is sick nowadays. He stands on Hocks (Kneecaps) of his feet and can't stand on his legs. I am giving him glucose, plus feeding him regularly, but ofcouse he is not getting any exercise so he is very weak now. His eyes...

Hi all, We have a lot of electricity shortfall in Pakistan. So we have a lot of load-shedding, the electricity runs out for 1 hour after every 2 hours. And at night we don't have power for 5 hours the incubator wouldn't run, thought we had it set up but we changed our mind.
Now I have 26 eggs...
