Hi,
I've been thinking of starting my flock again and was thinking of getting bantam leghorns or bantam Sussex. Does anyone have any experience with them? What are they like? How many eggs do you get per week?

Hi everyone
Was wondering if you were to do a white crested black silkie project how would you do it? Would you breed the f1 x f1 or f1 x silkie?
I was thinking of breeding my black silkie female to a white crested black polish rooster to create f1 generation.
how does the blue egg gene work?
If a breed a female aracuana with a silkie boy will all the offspring carry the blue egg gene or only some? Will all the males carry the blue egg gene? and if i then breed all the cross babies together will the resulting babies all lay blue/ green egg?

Father buff rooster and mother is either a black or white silkie hen.
