    Handling two broody hens

    I have 5 broody girls, 3 in the last week. I've made two trips into Austin for fertile eggs over 4 days.

    What is this wrong with this chicken?

    Post a Picture of Your Cross Breed

    I love raising cross breeds. It is so fun watching the mystery of what they'll look like unfold. This is Fabio. 23 week old Silver Laced Wyandotte crossed with a Buff Orpington. He is desperately trying to impress the ladies with his long blond "hair".
