Mixed breeds, not trying to breed the same variety of chicken, just worried about the outcome of breeding relatives.

So your saying that it doesn't matter if I breed father/ daughter & father/granddaughter together?

I want to keep just one rooster with my flock of 6 hens and breed for replacement hens and eating. How do I keep the blood lines clean with just 1 rooster? Will I have to keep swapping roosters? Does anyone have experience with this? Thanks

Thanks so much for the info, I'll make sure they all have a choice so everybody's happy :D

Doesn't the calcium hurt them in any way or do they pick around it?

I have 4 hens and 3 chicks about 12 weeks old that were hatched because one of my hens went broody. 2 of them are female but I also got a rooster which I'm going to keep as I'll be moving to the country soon. My question is, what do the males eat, the feed I buy is for laying hens, I haven't...

Yes, I'm beginning to realize that! Just been outside with a couple of my younger chicks, I'm trying to get them to trust me. They'r 11 weeks old, they come near me now but are still wary if I make what they think is a sudden move. Got the rooster to eat out of my hand yesterday and today...

Thanks, I plan to get different breeds once I move, it's so tempting to go ahead and get them now but I just don't have the room at the moment and I think I've already got more than I'm supposed to have.

Hi All, I'm really into different coloured eggs, hatched some Araucana eggs just so that I could get the blue shelled eggs. Live in suburbia at the moment so can't really start my project till I move to my 5 acre plot but want to get hens that lay all different coloured eggs and start breeding...

Hi there, love this site, on it all the time, have learned so much from everybody :-) When I first got my chickens I didn't realise how much I would get into it. Was up all last night on the thread about purple eggs. I will be moving soon to a 5 acre property where I can start breeding my hens...

Thank you both, it seems I'm off to a head start, I have a 2 Araucana's, 1 rooster & 1 hen. I'll be able to breed my rooster with my other hens that lay brown & white eggs. I just didn't want to advertize them as EE's ect if they were a mixture of 2 specific breeds. I can happily start...

I have a question about Easter Eggers and Olive Eggers, we don't have them here in Australia (as far as I know). Of course we do have hens that lay blue/green eggs. My question is, is it 2 specific breeds that are mixed together to make these hens or are they just random mixes? If they are 2...
