    Jersey Giants for meat??

    Hi I am looking for a heritage chicken breed that is big and grows fast! Would Jersey giants be a good choice?? I do not want hybrid meat birds so these looked appealing since they're the biggest heritage breed. Feel free to weigh in! Thanks!

    Anyone grow daikon radish for their chickens?

    Can I get the outcome I’m looking for in the 2nd year of breeding? If I were to breed a blue to a mottled what should I look for in the offspring? my other question would be if I were to breed the brother and sister would I get blue mottled chicks from them?

    Guess the dad: Barred Rock or Black Australorp on Sapphire Gem hens

    I was "sure" that by the time we incubated fresh eggs that the old rooster DNA should be GONE from the hens' oviducts... Well, now that they've hatched, I'm questioning if that's the case.
