Is there a way to tell how dark the meat is without cutting?
What are the key things to look for when choosing which birds to keep.
I am getting some hybrids (90%ers) off ebay and I will add DC's Smithies to them when I get some eggs from him.
We should get bumper stickers
I AM SMITHIE
With DC having just one pair of Smithies, all eggs from him will be siblings. What will be good to mix with them without breaking the bank or loosing their 'Smithieness'. Will AC hybrids be good? I want to start off right.
You need more than one pair to get this started. Does
anyone else have birds from the same source? How about mixing in the 'Ayam Cemani hybrid' that someone is selling on ebay?
I have a small flock of EEs and Ameraucanas and have been looking for a project bird. Your Smithies sound...
