    Silkie breeding, genetics & showing

    Winterizing Question

    I forgot to mention... a neighbor told me that piling snow around all sides of the coop will keep it warmer. Since snow is only around 32 degrees, it will always keep a coop around that temp. He said since my coop is small, to pile it all the way to the roof. Is this true? What do you think?

    Rooster breed?

    Any opinions as to what he may be? I've had people suggest buff brahma x Orpington cross, he's a big boy so I'm thinking they may be right, what do you guys think? Any ideas on the black hen too?
