I don't know if this is in the right spot or not but here's the question....
Hypothetical:
I want to raise chicks. I want to know exactly who the parents are. I have a breeding pen with the roo and the hen.
Do I have to let her have the eggs in the breeding pen or can she go back into the main coop and if so, how do I know who's eggs are who's?
Under general circumstances, is there any way to know what hen layed what egg?
Like if I A.I.'ed the birds... does the hen still need to be seperated from the flock for awhile to lay by herself so I know they are her eggs?
I didn't understand how that works!
Thanks, Jenn
