So tell us, did you find what you were looking for?
What a unique and very special christmas gift! Makes me wonder about my own ancestry, while some of it is well known, there might be other interesting genes farther down the line to explore...
Yes, open air is the way to go. That's what we do too.
After almost two months of laying, one of my pullets (she was the first to lay) started molting two days ago. Very weird, never had this happen before with pullets.
But maybe she is the one that got broody too, as one of the 12 pullets surprised me with broody poops starting 10 days ago and her eggs are missing since about the same time as well.
