    Thank you. The gray hen we call Momma, because she goes broody like crazy. She likes baths a lot. Not for the water, but the hair dryer. She pitches a fit when my wife turns it off and takes her back out. I think she sleeps under the roosting bar just to get pooped on so she can get another one...

    Found steal price on meat chickens, but what are they?

    Okay. Loaded down with info best i can. Could i use a rir or white leghorn rooster with the sex linked hens to produce better results? I'm six months into raising chickens and I'm not sure i will ever run out of things to study. I'd like my future generations to lay longer than two years.

    Found steal price on meat chickens, but what are they?

    Thank you. I mostly want egg production. However, I'd like any cull roosters I hatch to have something to them. I'd most likely get a my rooster from a more trusted breeder, but roosters are cheap so that's not a problem.
