You do have beautiful roosters. I like Mace's full breast and the way his back flows smoothly into his tail, unlike Gunnar's that has the squirrel tail going on. Those are nice looking blue based roos too. It would appear you have the right hens paired to the right roosters. If you ever have...

Most of the instances on this thread have been receiving purebred eggs and hatching mixed breed chicks.

I kind of addressed this in my previous post, but I thought of something else, so I thought I would reply to this post. When breeding registered stock, such as cattle, you are allowed to use other breeds to bring in a certain trait that you want. But you had to register each cross and the...
